OLYMPIA, Wash. — The Legislature will have several options to consider in addressing issues with the availability of insurance coverage for child housing service providers licensed by the Department of Children, Youth and Family Services, according to a report submitted to the Legislature on December 31 (PDF 2.93MB).
The report explores the availability and affordability of insurance for child placing agencies (CPAs), group foster homes (GFHs), childcare centers, and family childcare homes licensed by the DCYF. It also, in accordance with the Legislature’s request, examines those providers’ barriers in accessing adequate property and liability coverage and considers how a joint underwriting association might address those insurance needs.
Joint underwriting associations are nonprofit risk pools established by the and the insurance industry to address a lack of availability for certain lines of insurance.
