Public Assistance was approved for the Aspen Acres and Gold Mountain recovery; Colorado's Individual Assistance and Hazard Mitigation Grant Funding requests were still under review.
Assessments
The promise was framed as an advocacy action: to urge the Trump administration to approve Colorado's remaining Individual Assistance and Hazard Mitigation Grant funding requests. Hickenlooper did that during his current Senate term, including joining the Colorado delegation's August 24, 2026 request for approval and issuing a September 4, 2026 statement urging swift approval of the remaining IA and HMGP requests. The underlying IA and HMGP requests still appeared pending, but the promised action was to urge approval, not to secure final approval.
