However, if the minor's caseworker determines that placement in a responsible living skills program would be the most appropriate placement given the minor's current circumstances, prior residence in a HOPE center or secure crisis residential center before placement in a responsible living program is not required. Responsible living skills [skill] centers are intended as a placement alternative for dependent youth that the department chooses for the youth because no other services or alternative placements have been successful. Responsible living skills [skill] centers are not for dependent youth whose permanency plan includes return to home or family reunification.","path":["Title 74","Chapter 74.15"],"source_url":"https://app.leg.wa.gov/rcw/default.aspx?cite=74.15.240","current_through":"July 15, 2026","vintage":"","retrieved_at":"2026-09-06T01:03:53Z","sha256":"869132017ceba4511425d90ec466466e416f65fddd465ca97deb37d325d5b085","source_id":"us-wa","stale":false,"prev":"us-wa/rcw-74.15.230","next":"us-wa/rcw-74.15.250"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
