Foster Parent 1624 Consultation Teams

Since 2007, “1624” meetings have brought together caregivers and DCYF staff to discuss issues of concern to foster parents. The name “1624” reflects the legislative bill number that created the committee. These meetings include foster parent representatives elected for a two-year term by other caregivers in their region, elected representatives from the Foster Parent Association of Washington State (FPAWS), and DCYF staff appointed by agency leadership. Regional members also help set dates for consultation meetings to discuss local issues.
