Lifetime Advocacy Plus Organizational Overview

Founded in 1963, the same year that the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. delivered his "I Have a Dream" speech, Lifetime Advocacy Plus came into existence as the Foundation for Handicapped Children with its dream of addressing needs of people with complex needs. Their critical goal was to visit children in state residential facilities and to assist families. The Foundation for the Handicapped now known as Lifetime Advocacy Plus wrote the first ever Special Needs Trust and significantly contributed to the passing of the first ever state Guardianship laws. The staff, board and volunteers of Lifetime Advocacy Plus are mindful of this community-based disability advocacy heritage as we continue this important work.

In 2002, led by its mission and vision, the agency added to its services a d4c Master Pooled Trust. That trust, the first of its kind in Washington State, has been vetted and approved by the Social Security Administration, multiple Superior Courts, the Department of Social and Health Services and other interested and involved parties. Many clients have joined our Pooled Trust, which allows the preservation of their public benefits and to enjoy the supplemental extras their trusts can provide.
