Mesa County Department of Human Services is preparing for significant layoffs. Up to 25 employees may lose their jobs by the end of 2026. These cuts are a result of budget reductions and a county-wide consolidation of fiscal offices. Many staff questions about specific divisions, timelines, and workload distribution remain unanswered. Department leadership is still developing plans and seeking final approvals for these changes.
