Enrolling year round!
Our enrollment process:
Call 509-663-5179 to speak with a Family Advocate who can take your information and help you fill out an initial information form. If a Family Advocate is not available, we will return your call.
A Family Advocate will determine if your family qualifies for our program (see qualification factors below). Don’t hesitate to call…you may qualify.
You will then get a phone call to come in and fill out the complete application (see documents needed).
Once application is complete you will be placed on a waitlist (we recruit and fill openings throughout the year). Families with highest needs will be first priority.
We will contact you as openings occur.
