Become A Foster Parent
Overview
YouthNet Services and the Division of Child and Family Services do not discriminate based on sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression.
While foster parents can be homeowners or renters, there are physical aspects of your home that are important. To put it succinctly, your home needs to be clean, in good repair, and free from health and fire hazards. It also needs to have enough room for any children you intend to foster.
If you have any questions about whether you or your home meet the qualifications, contact us or fill out the form below.
