Our History
A&I Avenues was established in 2024, but the history of our organization goes way back. Below is a video announcing the new organization.
In the 2010s, the Colorado Department of Health Care Policy and Financing (HCPF) implemented a number of initiatives designed to help make accessing long-term services and supports easier by changing case management agencies to serve all HCBS waivers so people have one place to go, making sure there is the right number of case management agencies in Colorado, and increasing the quality of case management services.
​
In response to this State mandated directive, ACMI, Inc., and Imagine! – two Case Management Agencies with a combined 90+ year legacy of serving local citizens with a variety of disabilities - joined forces to form A&I Avenues.
​
The "A & I” in our name symbolizes the deep histories of ACMI and Imagine!, using the first letter of each, therefore connecting with the past of almost a century of service to our community, while “avenues” connects us all with a future where people with a wide variety of disabilities can each take the road that best serves their unique needs, goals, and desires.

Below is a timeline of our history. Please note that some of the entries include outdated language that was used in previous organization names.
