DescEconomic Opportunity and Self-Sufficiency: The Bell provides research, analysis, public education and advocacy on policies that help adults prepare for higher-paying jobs, stay in the workforce, support their families, build assets, and save for retirement. We also work to protect progress made to protect working Coloradoans and secure their financial stability.Key achievements in 2014 includeLeading two-generation (parents and their children together) policy solutions for family stability and success, including work on the cliff effect in Colorados Child Care Assistance Program, funding for adult education and literacy programs, support for the Colorado Preschool Program, family leave, and other supports for working families. The Bell Policy Center was named to the national Aspen Ascend Network, a group of leading-edge organizations working on two-generation approaches.Release of Retirement at Risk, a report analyzing who has access and who does not to retirement savings plans at work in Colorado, and building a coalition to support a Retirement Security Task Force on the issue.Continued success of payday lending reform recent reports indicate that Coloradans are saving more than $40 million annually in fees due to the reforms, and that of the states that still allow payday lending, Colorado has the lowest effective fees for borrowers. Education: We provide research, analysis, public education and advocacy on policies that help Colorado bridge the achievement gap for low-income students, students of color, and English language learners, and increase graduation rates. We also focus on policies that expand access, affordability, and successful completion of post-secondary education and skills training, both for traditional students and for adults already in the workforce. Key achievements in 2014 includeAdvancing policies to establish state funding for adult education and literacy programs, with a focus on workforce development partnerships that will help more low-skilled adults access training and career pathways. Previously, Colorado was the only state that provided no state funding for adult education. Serving as one of very few non-institutional advocates in higher education and advocating for a new funding formula that rewards institutions for promoting student access, completion, and success. Making post-secondary education more affordable for part-time students and working age adults through their inclusion in merit-based aid, increases in financial aid, and caps on tuition increases.Continued success of concurrent enrollment programs that allow students to gain college credit while still in high school; 22% of Colorado juniors and seniors are participating, including a significant number from communities of color. Data indicate that many of these students are the first in their families to attend college, and that their college retention rates and grade point averages outpace their peers.Health and Fiscal Policy: We advance policies that expand access to affordable health care, begin to address our long-term care needs as a state, provide critical information on health policy topics to decision-makers and citizens, and addresses the impact of Colorados aging demographic and our fiscal challenges as a state.Key achievements in 2014 includeBuilding a coalition in support of a long-term, comprehensive Strategic Plan for Aging for the state, to address the challenges and opportunities posed by our aging population.Research and data analysis for Colorados Care Economy, a report from the Caring Across Generations coalition on Colorados home care workforce.Colorados Fiscal Challenges in 12 Charts, an infographic chart series illustrating the challenges of TABOR and our tax structure and their potential impact on the state, particularly in view of the changes posed by our aging population.Straight Talk on Health Reform, 22 articles in our continuing series debunking misconceptions about health reform and educating the public about key provisions of the Affordable Care Act.Desc
