Washington state law requires that nonprofit agencies that are operating a host home program that serves youth under the age of 18 register with the Secretary of State’s Office and reports their activities and outcomes to the Office of Homeless Youth (OHY) on an annual basis if they receive local, state, or government funding (RCW 74.15.020).
Reporting requirements
Nonprofit agencies operating a host home program must use Annual OHY Host Homes Report for Youth Under Age 18 Survey (on Smartsheet) to report their activities and outcomes by December 1, 2022. The reporting period is the state’s 2022 fiscal year, July 1, 2021 – June 30, 2022.
Register with the Secretary of State
Nonprofit agencies that wish to register their host home program can find more registration information from the Secretary of State’s office.
