The Child Care Aware of Washington Family Center | 1-800-446-1114 | familycenter@childcare.org
The Child Care Aware of Washington Family Center is a statewide call center assisting families in finding licensed childcare providers, navigating childcare financial assistance options, finding alternative forms of care, and connecting families to COVID-related resources in their community. We also assist families to navigate the state subsidy system by connecting families experiencing homelessness with the DCYF Working Connections Homeless Grace Period, if eligible. The Homeless Grace Period (HGP) may authorize families experiencing homelessness with 12 months of childcare subsidy without a copay. Our Homeless Navigation team is able to assist families in applying to the state subsidy over the phone.
