Dan Thompson Grants

The Washington State Legislature established the Dan Thompson Developmental Disabilities Community Services Account in RCW 71A.20.170. The state grants money to community organizations providing supports and services in a community setting to benefit eligible individuals with developmental disabilities.

 

DDA Projects Show and Share

When the Washington State Legislature and others identify areas in need of improvement for DSHS Developmental Disabilities Administration services, we work with those most impacted to find solutions. Because these solutions may need money or other resources, we report to the Legislature with recommendations and the resources needed.
