Advocacy

W4A's mission is to advocate at the local, state, and federal levels for services and supports that enhance the lives of older adults, adults with disabilities, and their caregivers in Washington State.

W4A believes in the homecare solution and works tirelessly to promote dignified, independent living for older adults, adults with disabilities, and supports for family caregivers. Washington State has consistently ranked high in long-term services and supports (LTSS), but every voice counts!  You, too, can get involved by signing up to be added to our advocacy email list.  Stay up-to-date on key issues, legislation, and efforts moving forward so that you can join us in being part of the homecare solution!

The message is simple: Continue to pass vital legislation that provides funding for in-home care services and other supports that help people remain in their homes and maintain their dignity and independence. Reach out to your legislator regularly to let them know you support legislation that protects older adults, adults with disabilities, and their caregivers, and thank them for their continued efforts to protect funding for in-home care and other services and supports.
