Gov. Jared Polis and the Business Funding and Incentives division of the Colorado Office of Economic Development and International Trade said the Western Slope consulting and direct service organization will provide justice system support services to rural communities.
Pathways Services partners with local governments, courts and community organizations to develop diversion programs and skills-based interventions aimed at improving access to services and reducing strain on justice systems.
