Help for Washington Families Fund Grantees

Technical assistance is an important component of the Washington Families Fund program. We can assist grantees with agency/partnership capacity building, as well developing and operating housing, employment, and support service programs targeting homeless families. In addition, we also provide training opportunities for funded agencies. See our upcoming trainings.

We are continually looking to grantees to tell us where you think you and your partner agencies would benefit from technical assistance. We see this assistance as a central part of the ongoing partnership between grantees and the Washington Families Fund.
