Caregiver 1624 Meetings

Since 2007, “1624” meetings have brought together caregivers and DCYF staff to discuss caregiver needs, concerns, and questions. The name “1624” reflects the legislative bill number that created the committee.

These regional meetings include caregiver representatives, other foster parents and kinship caregivers, and DCYF staff. Agency executive leadership meets with leadership from the Foster Parent Association of Washington State (FPAWS).
