Recruits and licenses homes for traditional and specialized foster care placement.

Traditional foster care programs provide synergy between foster parents, biological parents, the court, social workers, and the child. Foster parents cooperate with the court to set goals that (ideally) results in the return of the child to their family. If that is not possible, foster parents are asked to commit to permanency for the child.

Specialized foster care programs work to meet the special needs of physically, behaviorally, and emotionally challenged children; as well as the foster families serving them. This program works toward permanency by providing intensive case management and comprehensive mental health services, along with medical, developmental, and educational services.
