Northern Rivers Home Finders (Foster Children)

Home Finder (Foster Care)

 In our role as Foster Care Home Finders, we look to find individuals and families in the community who have the strengths to meet the needs of the children that we have coming into care. We provide information about foster care and the certification process, facilitate needed training, and complete needed clearances, paperwork,  and home visits. We attend events in our communities and utilize local partners, to assist in recruitment efforts. There is a large need for foster families
Mission or Purpose: The Foster Family program at Northern Rivers provides foster and pre-adoptive foster homes for children requiring out-of-home placement from birth through age 21. The goal of foster care is to reunify children with their families. We have a team of providers to help work with foster families, children in care, birth families, and other providers.
