Denver Human Services has extended the deadline for Mill Levy Advisory Council applicants to Thursday, December 3. They are seeking an experienced and diverse membership to lend their voices to discussions regarding issues vital to people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD). In 2021, the advisory council will primarily focus on further defining housing needs and making recommendations to support inclusive housing opportunity for people living with I/DD in Denver. Other needs may be elevated in priority, especially as they encounter emerging needs in response to COVID-19 and resulting economic challenges.
