Section 388-826-0001. What is the purpose of the voluntary placement program?

Latest version.

The purpose of the voluntary placement program is to:

(1) Support the optimal growth and development of the child or youth in out-of-home placement. The sole reason for the out-of-home placement is the child's developmental disability. Services are offered by DSHS/DDD through a voluntary placement agreement. Parents retain custody of their child or youth.

(2) Support the child and family with a shared parenting arrangement through the use of licensed foster care providers.

(3) Complement other public and private resources in providing supports to the child and family.

(4) Encourage the relationship between the child and parents, even when the child or youth is not living in their own home.

(5) These rules are adopted under the authority of RCW 74.13.350.
