Colorado Springs, CO – El Paso County officials say most county services remain operational despite the ongoing federal government shutdown, assuring residents that local programs and departments continue to serve the community.
According to El Paso County, the duration of the shutdown could influence delivery of certain federally funded programs, including food and financial assistance. Officials noted that the county continues to monitor developments closely and will adjust operations if needed.
Residents seeking support or updated information on available aid are encouraged to contact Pikes Peak United Way by dialing 211, where live operators can connect callers to food, housing, financial, or mental health resources.
