The Strengthening Families Washington team at DCYF is pleased to offer funding opportunities that provide support to families in Washington state. The following are our current funding opportunities:

SB6109 was passed into law during the 2024 legislative session to address the impacts of the synthetic opioid crisis on families with children. The legislation made available $1.6 million in funding for home visiting slots for families experiencing high-potency synthetic opioid-related substance use disorders. These funds support existing home visiting providers currently contracting with DCYF/Home Visiting Services Account.
