Information for Foster Parents

Foster parents provide safe and caring temporary homes for children whose families are currently unable to care for them. Individuals who provide foster care services are assessed by the Children's Division and our contractors to meet regulation and policy requirements for licensure.

Foster parents are required to complete initial training as well as continuing training, along with on-going support to meet the needs of the foster youth population. We are here to offer information to assist, support and connect you to the training and resources you need.
