We are always seeking family-building opportunities to connect our youth with foster parents who are passionate about shaping the lives of young children. Our goal is to expand our community of foster parents and host homes.

There are two types of hosting opportunities available: Licensed Foster Parents and Host Homes. Licensed Foster Parents, approved through your circuit's Community-Based Care (CBC) agency, provide love and stability for children under 18. Host Homes, on the other hand, focus on continuing life skill education for those who have aged out of foster care.

Youth who have aged out of foster care are paired with screened and trained Host Parents and placed in suitable housing. We call this our “Host Homes.” We are proud to have a 98% success rate, with children in our program continuing to post-secondary education. The youth are encouraged to enroll in college and are assisted with their studies and associated costs. Recognizing the challenges faced by youth aging out of the foster care system, we offer long-term support, pairing young adults with vetted senior citizens, many of whom are veterans, to help them develop essential life skills for independent living. Host Parents teach them skills such as budgeting, paying bills, organization, and cooking, while the youth provide companionship and help with daily activities.

Both Host Parents and youth undergo thorough psychological evaluations, and Host Parents complete a Level 2 background check. This program gives young adults the opportunity to thrive in a family environment, fostering lifelong relationships that lead to greater success in their adult lives. Interviews, background checks, training, and ongoing support for our Host Homes are provided at no cost to you.

One of our goals is also to partner with other professional services to meet the needs of our youth as they transition through our program to independence. If you are interested in becoming a Host Home for one of our teens or young adults, please contact us for more information.
