WY Home Matters

The Department’s values – safe at home, opportunities for success, and supporting the people who support the families – provide the foundation for WY Home Matters, a framework that guides how the Department works across divisions, systems, and with communities to engage and serve children, youth, vulnerable adults, and their families. This framework is built on a belief that children and vulnerable adults do best when they can stay safely at home.

The Department recently completed a three-year strategic plan based on its values and the WY Home Matters framework. This strategic plan is a roadmap for Department’s work over the next three years. To learn more, you can review the full strategic plan here or a summary of the plan here.

If you have questions or comments on the WY Home Matters framework or the Department’s strategic plan, please e-mail wyhomematters@wyo.gov.

Communities play a vital role in keeping children, youth, vulnerable adults, and their families safe at home. Because of this, the Department facilitates a monthly Community Family Support Forum focused on sharing resources, ideas, and successes that help keep families safe and on a path that is self-sustaining.
