Pave, a tax-exempt nonprofit organization based in Tacoma, Washington, received a $600,000 Project Grant from the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services (OSERS) under the Rehabilitation Services Demonstration and Training Programs (CFDA 84.235F) for the award period October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026. This award funds Pave's D1 Regional Parent Information and Training Centers (PTIs) program, which delivers specialized support services to families of children and youth with special needs across Washington State.

Through established sub-grant partnerships with the Washington State Department of Children, Youth, and Families and the Washington State Department of Health, Pave provides evidence-based peer-to-peer support, family navigation services for families of children with special health care needs, and facilitates Strong Community Network programs in multiple geographic regions including Bremerton, Port Angeles, Sequim, Spokane, and Stevens/Ferry counties. These services are designed to create more family-centered and equitable systems of care for underserved communities in the Pacific Northwest, with the program building on Pave's sustained engagement with state partners dating back to at least February 2023.
