Human Services continually recruits new foster homes to meet the needs of children and families

Foster parents provide care for children who cannot remain with their biological families for a variety of reasons. Typically, this may be due to physical, s*xual, and emotional abuse; neglect; a special needs child and/or delinquency issues.

Foster care is a temporary living arrangement meant to provide a safe and stable environment for a child while their family works on improving their circumstances. The primary goal of foster care is to help the biological family regain placement of their child.
