The Resource Exchange

What The Resource Exchange does

The Resource Exchange (TRE) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 1964 in Colorado Springs, Colorado, that delivers case management, early intervention, service coordination, family support, and respite services to approximately 13,000 individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD), developmental delays, mental health needs, or long-term care requirements across four Colorado counties (El Paso, Pueblo, Teller, and Park). TRE operates as a designated Case Management Agency under contract with the Colorado Department of Health Care Policy & Financing (HCPF) for Medicaid Long-Term Services and Supports waivers, and as a local implementing agency for the state-funded Early Intervention Colorado program serving children birth to age three. Revenue is derived primarily from Medicaid HCBS waivers and state EI contracts, supplemented by tax-deductible donations, grants, and a Capital Campaign; services are provided at no cost to eligible individuals.

The organization employs approximately 420 staff across four physical offices (Colorado Springs headquarters, Pueblo, Woodland Park/Teller County, Bailey/Park County). Technology infrastructure is built on Microsoft PowerApps-based Member and Provider portals branded as TRE Vault (portal.tre.org), enabling self-service intake, consent management, service request tracking, and document handling, with the Early Intervention Referral Form hosted externally on a Colorado Department of Early Childhood Salesforce site. TRE maintains a network of over 200 community partner organizations that refer individuals into services and participate in delivery, alongside partnerships with UCCS, CU Anschutz Medical School, El Paso County Sheriff's Office (Blue Envelope Program), The Independence Center, New Altitude, Phamaly Theatre, and Autism Vision Colorado. The organization is governed by an independent board of directors under CEO Colleen Head Batchelor (appointed permanent CEO in June 2020 after 14 months interim), has been recognized as a Best Workplace by The Gazette for seven consecutive years, and celebrated its 60th anniversary in 2024 alongside its expansion into Pueblo County and HCPF approval of a Backlog Reduction Plan addressing case management capacity.
