Family Impact Network

Families in crisis need a great deal of support to heal. No single entity can do it alone.

A non-profit, mission-based organization, Family Impact Network (FIN) partners with the Department of Children, Youth and Families (DCYF) and service providers to serve as the Network Administrator in 20 counties in Eastern and Central Washington. We coordinate and oversee two services:

• Family Time visits for children in out-of-home care to maintain parent-child relationships.

• Combined In-Home Services (CIHS): in-home therapeutic and parent education services to foster stability.

Through this work, we provide resources and services to vulnerable children and families to address safety, prevention, permanency, stability and overall well-being. Guided by a dynamic board with decades of nonprofit leadership, community collaboration, financial expertise, and lived experience in the child welfare system, FIN is part of a system designed to make sure children and families get the resources and support they need. 

FIN is a central hub child welfare services, handling the logistics of social worker requests for services and quality oversight so providers can focus on what they do best: supporting families. In 2023, we coordinated 10,290 service requests, audited $21.5 million in provider invoices, and conducted contract and quality assurance management for 40 child welfare service agencies. We are also dedicated to generating data insights that drive system-wide improvements in service delivery.
