Providing Safe Homes. Building Brighter Futures.

Every child deserves the opportunity to grow up in a safe, loving environment where they can experience hope, healing and the stability needed for a brighter future.

When children cannot safely remain at home due to abuse, neglect or other serious circumstances, foster care provides temporary care while their families work toward greater stability.

At Christ Child House, our state-licensed foster care program recruits, trains and supports compassionate foster families who care for children while we work toward safe reunification with their families or another permanent family placement. Throughout that journey, we provide the guidance, resources and support needed to help children and foster families succeed.

Children We Serve

Our foster care program serves children of all ages who have experienced abuse, neglect or other circumstances that make it unsafe for them to remain at home.

Every child comes with a unique story, strengths and challenges. We thoughtfully match each child with a foster family that can provide the stability, encouragement and support they need to heal, grow and thrive.

How We Support Children and Foster Families

Foster parenting is a journey, and no family walks it alone. Our experienced team provides guidance, resources and ongoing support throughout the licensing process and every stage of placement.

Our services include:

Foster parent recruitment, training and licensing

Individualized case management

Coordination with schools, medical providers and community partners

Family visitation and reunification support

Referrals for therapeutic and behavioral health services

Ongoing communication, education and support for foster families

Together, these services help children experience greater stability while supporting foster families and working toward the best possible outcome for every child.
