Training Opportunity for Providers: Improving Residential Service Outcomes for Supported Living, Group Training Homes, and Group Homes Providers
Dear Supported Living, Group Home, and Group Training Home providers,
DDA is amending the Residential Services and Support contract effective March 1, 2021.
The changes include:
- Updates and modifications to DDA Policy 4.02 - Community Residential Services: Referral, Acceptance, and Change in Residential Provider.
- A new policy in Chapter 4 of DDA’s policy manual designed to strengthen supports for clients in difficult situations: DDA Policy 4.24, Client Critical Case Protocol.
- Contract language updates that align with the new policies.
These policy changes are partly due to a settlement agreement that DDA entered into with Disability Rights Washington. The trainings below will help ensure a smooth implementation of the changes.
11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., Jan. 26, 2021 - register
1 to 4 p.m., Feb. 2, 2021 - register
9 a.m. to noon, Feb. 9, 2021 - register
The attached documents are in draft and will be signed and posted on the DDA policy website in mid-February.
Policy 4.02 Community Residential Services: Referral Acceptance, and Change in Residential Provider
Policy 4.24 Supported Living Critical Case Protocol
