Colorado has teamed up with the philanthropic OnwardUS to launch a one-stop website where people who are unemployed or who are seeking emergency support services can find help and answers.<\/p>\n

OnwardCO.org<\/a><\/i> went live on Monday with 50,000 job listings and information on scores of resources, like where to find food, shelter and childcare.<\/p>\n

The site is modeled after a similar initiative in California<\/a><\/i> that is spreading to states across the country. The OnwardUS coalition aims to reduce the economic damage caused by the new coronavirus nationwide.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs we work to ensure the health and safety of Coloradans during these unprecedented times, it\u2019s critical that we also help the economy recover. OnwardCO is a key tool in that effort,\u201d Colorado Gov. Jared Polis said in a written statement. \u201cColorado is proud to be part of the OnwardUS coalition, an example of the power of public private partnership.\u201d<\/p>\n
