Washington ends its community protection program

Beginning January 1, 2027, Washington ends the legal framework for its community protection program. Participants can no longer receive services through that program. This repeal does not itself specify replacement services.

Program participants get a service transition plan

Beginning June 11, 2026, Washington’s Department of Social and Health Services must develop and carry out a transition plan. The plan must move every community protection program participant into other services or programs by December 31, 2026. The law does not name the replacement services or guarantee a specific level of support. This transition requirement expires July 1, 2027.
