Dear Mr. Cook:
The Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS) has historically interpreted RCW 74.14C.070 as necessary only when funds are actually transferred from the foster care budget to fund family preservation services.
To date, this transfer of funding has never occurred. Therefore, the Department will not be submitting a report in 2001.
Please contact Sharon Young at (360) 902-7991 if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
DENNIS BRADDOCK, Secretary
The Department of Social and Health Services notice that they will not be submitting a report in 2001 under RCW 74.14C.070, as necessary funds were not transferred from the foster care budget to fund family preservation services, is on file in the Office of the Secretary of the Senate.
