Approximately 15% of Mesa County residents – 22,500 people – have some form of developmental disability.
- Governmental funding for agencies like STRiVE is always volatile and subject to political priorities and whims, and four specific concerns continuously plague STRiVE in responsibly meeting individual needs: Growing demand for Early Intervention and Other Children’s Services, critical to these children’s long-term capabilities and quality of life
- Lack of sufficient local access to Diagnostic Autism Assessment and Supports
- Necessity for enhanced Nursing and Psychiatric/Crisis/Behavioral Supports responsive to the distinct needs of the STRiVE individuals
-
Safe and Adequate Facilities for STRiVE individuals and employees. Current administrative/ services facilities at NEW LOCATION : 790 Wellington Ave. have become an obstacle to service delivery: Poor layout for individuals ease of access, safety, and confidentiality, failing structural supports, leakage and mold problems all compromise the health and safety of inhabitants and visitors, necessitating $2+ million in improvements.
