A Little Help from our Partners
Family Resource Center (FRC) Partner Inventory
Better Health Together is working to better understand which organizations in our Social Care Network operate as, or may meet the definition of, a Family Resource Center (FRC) in Washington.
A FRC is a welcoming, strengths-based place where families can connect to information, resources, referrals, and other supports. FRCs generally serve as a point of entry for families, help assess needs and strengths, connect families to or directly provide services, respond to the needs and cultures of their communities, and have at least one family advocate who can help families identify goals and next steps when requested.
Your organization or program does not need to have “Family Resource Center” in its name to meet these criteria.
If your organization operates a program or location that you consider an FRC or that may meet these criteria, please complete this form and share the name of the program or location and the community or county/counties served.
Not sure if your program qualifies? That’s okay! Share what you know, and we can take a closer look. Your response will help us get a better picture of the Family Resource Center resources that may already exist across our Social Care Network.
Share a Story With Us
As a Community Care Hub partner, you see the impact of your work every day. We want to share your stories and show how the community-based workforce helps people connect with care and support.
Tell us about a time you helped someone overcome a challenge or a pattern you’re seeing in barriers to care. We want to hear it in your own words. Submit the form, and our team will follow up if we have questions or if you’d like to add details.
HR1 Updates
On July 4, 2025, President Trump signed H.R.1 into law, which includes significant policy changes to Apple Health (Medicaid), Medicare and the health insurance marketplaces. The first set of changes for lawfully present noncitizens comes into effect in October of 2026, and work requirements, six-month renewals, and retroactive coverage changes for adults on Medicaid begin in January of 2027.
These changes have serious effects on communities experiencing health disparities in Washington state. BHT has been working on a number of different ways to support our region through these changes.
Here’s what you need to know as a Social Care Network partner:
Funding supports:
To uplift our region, BHT is offering funding to currently contracted Community Care Hub partners in good standing to support clients through transitions through insurance navigation support and share information via educational campaign materials. Details about this opportunity have been sent out to each organization’s leadership. Please follow up with your Program Manager with any questions.
Resources
Educational materials for you and your clients are available on our H.R.1 webpage. You’ll find a workbook for CBWs, recordings of our September informational webinars, and a link to schedule time with our navigator team for support.
Printed materials explaining the upcoming changes are also available to share with clients or display in waiting rooms. To request copies, email [email protected].
