When children must leave their home they may be placed in an Emergency Shelter Home for short-term care or in a licensed foster home which offers placement for up to a year in a family setting. There are also opportunities to provide scheduled short-term respite care. Foster parents come from all walks of life. They may be married or single, with or without children, renters or homeowners. What they all share is a commitment to helping children through the tough times.
Professional support is available for all foster care placements.
