As many of you know, on October 1, 2025, a federal government shutdown went into effect. We know this creates uncertainty for many of our partners and the communities we serve together.

While parts of HealthierHere’s 1115 Waiver funding may be impacted, we are prepared with contingency plans to maintain our operations as normal and continue channeling support through our network. The HealthierHere Community Hub and its services will remain open, and we’ll continue payments to all contracted partners during the shutdown.  

We are also in communication with the Washington State Health Care Authority and will share updates as we learn more.

We recognize that this shutdown has real consequences for organizations across our region and the people they serve. HealthierHere is committed to standing with you, advocating for our community, and ensuring that we move through this time together.

If you have any questions, please contact Thuy Hua-Ly, HealthierHere’s Chief Financial and Operations Officer, at thua-ly@healthierhere.org.

Thank you for your resilience and partnership.

With gratitude,

John Kim

CEO, HealthierHere
