When will MOCKINGBIRD FAMILY™ be available in my area?
DCYF is working to expand the Mockingbird Family Program statewide. Implementation and expansion for 2025 will happen in two phases.
Phase 1: Initial Launch
- Launch one Enhanced Constellation in each Region beginning June 2025.
- The catchment areas identified below are prioritized based on the number of youth that have experienced multiple placement changes.
- Each Constellation will serve a maximum of 10 families and 18 young people within their community. Unfortunately, this means MOCKINGBIRD FAMILY TM will not be available to serve all families and young people within the identified county.
Phase 1 Catchment Areas
Region 1 Locations
Location: Spokane County
Alternate: Grant County
Region 2 Locations
Location: Benton County
Alternate: Yakima County

Region 6 Locations

*In the event a Hub Home is not identified in the targeted county the alternate location will be considered.
What if MOCKINGBIRD FAMILY™ is not available in my area?
If your county is not on the list of areas the Mockingbird Family Program will serve, we still want to hear from you. Anyone interested in joining a Constellation as a Hub Home, Satellite Home, or youth should fill out the inquiry form.
You will be put on a waitlist and notified when the program becomes available in your area. This also helps us determine the level of interest in communities across the state and will guide future expansion.
