body

 

DEPARTMENT:  Human Services

 

ORIGINATOR:  Laurie Bain-Smith

 

EXECUTIVE RECOMMENDATION:  Approved by Lacey Harper 7/16/2026

 

PURPOSE: Approve and authorize the County Executive to sign WA State DCYF ECEAP Contract 27-1073. 

 

BACKGROUND: ECEAP Contract 27-1073 with the Washington State Department of Children, Youth and Families (DCYF) is for the period July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 in the amount of $20,330,759. 

Established by the Legislature in 1985, ECEAP is a comprehensive school-readiness program serving low-income and at-risk 3- and 4-year-old children and their families in Washington state. Because many factors affect a child’s development and learning ability, ECEAP provides preschool education, health services coordination, nutrition, family support and parent engagement. 

This Program will provide services to 1,598 children in Snohomish County - 1,060 Part-Day slots and 538 School-Day slots, including funds for specialized services for children with complex needs (ECLIPSE and Complex Needs Funds). 

This Contract was included in the 2026 Human Services Grant Work Plan; however, the award exceeds the amount included in the Grant Work Plan by more than $100,000, thus requiring Council approval.
