FULL VETO
As Passed Legislature
Brief Description: Concerning the intensive resource home pilot.
Sponsors: Senators Tom, Prentice and Fairley.
Senate Committee on Ways & Means
House Committee on Ways & Means
Background: In 2008 the Legislature created the intensive resource home pilot project. The pilot project required the Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS) to select two or more geographic areas for implementing an intensive resource foster home pilot program (program). The program was aimed at areas where high concentrations of children with significant needs are in foster care; areas of appropriate size that will allow for an analysis of the impact of the program on the continuum of out-of-home care providers; and to determine the number of children to be served. Implementation of the initial sites was to be undertaken with the goal of eventual expansion of the program statewide.
The pilot project was suspended in December 2008 after contractual delays in implementing the pilot project.
Summary: The pilot project remains suspended until the Legislature provides specific funds for its implementation. The act also eliminates reporting requirements related to the pilot project.
