Bi-Directional Referral Pathway Phase 2 Evaluation Report
WithinReach is proud to share the results of a new evaluation assessing the rollout of the permanent bi-directional referral pathway between Help Me Grow Washington (HMG WA) and Child Care Aware of Washington (CCA-WA).
This collaborative effort was designed to strengthen how families with young children are connected to vital services across Washington State. Both HMG WA and CCA-WA play essential roles in supporting families—ensuring that parents and caregivers can access high-quality child care, developmental resources, and community connections.
The evaluation explores how this new pathway is enhancing coordination between the two systems, improving referral processes, and helping families receive more timely, comprehensive support.
