Enhanced Foster Care provides private homes for groups of siblings who are unable to live with their own families.
We emphasize meeting each child’s specific needs as identified by his or her individualized service plan (ISP). We recruit, train and license foster homes and place children in those omes. Once the children are placed, we support the foster home by offering expertise, identifying community resources and providing temporary respite care services for the foster family.
Children Served
Any sibling group identified by county authorities to have been abused or neglected may be placed in our enhanced foster homes.
Referral Procedure
All referrals are made through county child-welfare offices.
Funding
Most of the funding for our Enhanced Foster Care programs comes through state contracts and Medicaid. Individuals, churches and other community groups provide additional help at the local level.
