The Foster Care Program provides for the temporary placement and supervision of a child/children placed in the custody of this agency by the court. While in foster care, a social worker will work together with the child/children’s family to address the family’s needs that brought the child/children into foster care.

It is the goal of the Foster Care Program to provide permanency to children by returning the child/children to the parent or prior custodian, placement with an appropriate relative or through adoption or independent living, for older youth.
