We are Stronger Together!
Providers across Washington are facing unprecedented challenges. At a time when the essential services we provide for children and families
are being compromised in ways that create real challenges, standing together has never been more important!
The Washington Association for Children & Families (WACF) brings providers together to advocate, problem-solve, and advance the changes our system urgently needs. Together, we speak with a unified voice that commands attention and motivates action.
The Challenges We Must Address Together
Provider Rates
Rates need to reflect the true cost of delivering quality services based on data and accurate assumptions.
Contract Reform
Current contracting requirements drive inefficiencies, which creates provider instability and restricts access to critical services.
Liability Insurance Crisis
Rising insurance costs and limited options have created a crisis that threatens the sustainability of providers
