Provides services focused on permanency for children through reunification or adoption, and advocates for each child's needs.

Every effort is made to place each child or group of siblings with the most appropriate foster family based on their family dynamics and unique strengths.
Works throughout communities large and small to develop a diverse team of qualified foster parents. Foster care home-finding staff consists of current and/or former foster parents who recruit, train, and assist families in navigating the pre-certification process.

Through regular communication and quarterly home visits post-certification, staff offer guidance and resources necessary for success.

All services are coordinated pursuant to the earliest return of the child to its birth family.
