Children's Habilitation Residential Program (CHRP) Waiver

A waiver is an extra set of Health First Colorado (Colorado's Medicaid program) benefits that you could qualify for in certain cases. These benefits can help you remain in your home and community. Waivers have extra program rules and some programs may have waitlists. The Children's Habilitation Residential Program (CHRP) waiver provides services for children and youth who have an intellectual or developmental disability and very high needs. Their needs for support put them at risk of, or in need of, out-of-home placement. Waiver services help children and youth learn and maintain the skills needed to live in their communities. Children who receive services through the CHRP waiver are also eligible for all Health First Colorado covered services as long as they are not duplicative.
