There are still plenty of cell phones available for FCS enrollees. Instructions for getting the phones were shared in the June Foundations. The cell phones come with six months of service, automatically renewed each month. Updated activation instructions were recently shared via GovDelivery. Please note, the SIM cards are pre-installed in the phones.
The Milbank Quarterly published a report on Medicaid waivers and tenancy supports for individuals experiencing homelessness. The report describes findings from interviews and document review. The report could not have been written without the valuable input from the interviewees.

The Conference on Ending Homelessness (COEH) brings together individuals from across the state. Participant’s will have the opportunity to network, re-energize, and organize to grow the movement to end homelessness.
The conference will provide multiple spaces for identity-based groups to reflect and process with others who share similar identities. Groups include BIPOC, white, people with disabilities, and LGTBQ. Social workers will have opportunities to earn continuing education credits.
The virtual conference has some great perks:
- The COEH is easily accessible and you don’t have to waste time or money on travel.
- The conference now offers discounted rates compared with our in-person conferences.
- Your registration includes access to session recordings, so you can access content and get continuing education credits after the conference is over.
Conference details
- Wednesday, October 6 to Friday, October 8 Registration will open in late June

An estimated 100,000 Washington residents will have their driver’s licenses reinstated after a Judge signed an order requiring the Department of Licensing (DOL) to stop suspending licenses for individuals who have unpaid traffic tickets for non-criminal moving violations. The order will prevent individuals from being punished for driving while poor. The license suspension moratorium will be in place until at least January 2023, when ESSB 5226 is set to go into effect.
