Keeping current with training requirements
It has been nearly two years since the training requirements
related to Community Residential Services Businesses (RCW 74.39A – formerly
known as 1163) went into effect (Jan. 1, 2016). This included Supported
Living, Group Homes and Group Training Homes.
July 1, 2017, the updated WAC 388-829, (which also includes all
developmental disabilities) contracted settings to include Children’s Licensed
Staff Residential, Alternative Living, and Companion Homes under the definition
of “Community Residential Service Businesses.”
This message provides you with an update on training requirements.
