Program Overview
What is the Working Families Tax Credit? The Working Families Tax Credit program was recently funded by the Washington State Legislature through the passage of Engrossed Substitute House Bill 1297. Starting in 2023, the credit will provide approximately 400,000 Washingtonians with a one-time payment if the applicant applies for the credit and meets the eligibility requirements for the year that the applicant is applying for. Eligibility for the credit mirrors the federal Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) but differs in a few unique ways. The Washington State Department of Archaeology and Historic Preservation (DAHP) is pleased to announce an open competitive process to select a consultant to identify and survey historic sites in the State of Washington relating to Black history.
Specifically, we are soliciting the services of historians and architectural historians to identify Black “creators” (architects, designers, engineers, artists, builders, etc) who have made contributions to Washington’s built environment and help tell the full story of Washington state history. The contract award amount is $50,000 and proposals are due December 15, 2021. Link to proposal. By Sherina James.
