The “Pathways to Housing” website recently underwent renovations and is ready for eager web-explorers to begin putting its new interface to good use! Pathways to Housing is a website where people seeking housing, supportive housing service providers, and landlords alike can explore local and state resources relevant to housing services in Washington state. The site has curated resource links, budgeting tools, rental application tools, and more for all types of housing-seekers. Additionally, there are e-learning modules, program building tools for service providers, information on the Landlord Mitigation Fund and more for landlords; there is something for everyone to utilize. Please follow (and bookmark!) this link for the new “Pathways to Housing” site: https://fortress.wa.gov/dshs/pathwaystohousing/P2H_Main.html
Additionally, stay tuned in December for information on a virtual “Pathways to Housing Walk-Through and Info Session” with our FCS Supportive Housing Program Managers, who will serve as tour guides navigating the new look of this well-loved resource.

Members of HCA’s Foundational Community Supports (FCS) team – Dawn Miller, Kimberly Castle, and Scott Tankersley – were excited to meet in-person and generate collaborations with Department of Commerce’s Dani Rylander, Pat Tucker from Advocates for Human Potential, and Nora Barrett and Joni Dolce from Rutgers University during the 2023 Cooccurring Disorder (COD) & Treatment Conference in Yakima, WA.
HCA's Divison of Behavioral Health and Recovery (DBHR) is excited to announce that we are now accepting applications for the 2024 Fidelity Review Incentive Funds. These funds will allow a limited number of Foundational Community Supports (FCS) contracted providers to apply for incentive dollars to participate in the fidelity review process.
There are now six different options for participation and participation incentives vary from $5,000 - $7,500.

Please use the link below to complete a survey designed to gather your input on the learning communities that Rutgers University faculty have facilitated over the past five years for Washington's Foundational Community Supports (FCS). Specifically, we are looking for your feedback on the Landlord Outreach, Buried in Treasures, Job Developers, Supported Employment Supervisors and Supportive Housing Supervisors learning communities.
Our goal with this study is to examine the impact of utilizing learning communities to improve behavioral health providers’ skills and knowledge in Supported Employment and Supportive Housing services in our FCS programs. We are hoping you will support us in this important endeavor.
If you would like additional information about this study, please contact Nora Barrett at nora.barrett@rutgers.edu.
