About
The Family Support Council (FSC) is a select committee made up of volunteers. Their purpose is to offer guidance and assistance to Denver Options in the overall policy direction of the Family Support Services Program (FSSP).
The FSSP helps people with developmental disabilities remain in safe and caring family settings with support for that home placement.
It gives a voice to Denver Options’ FSSP customers, ensuring that the program is responsive to the needs of the people and families we serve.
Why is the FSC important?
The Family Support Council represents the families and customers that Denver Options serves and helps to guide the direction that the FSSP and its service providers take.
