The CHJC Fostering Futures Program provides temporary care for children unable to live with their birth families or guardians. It allows children who may have been abused, neglected or who have behavioral challenges and special needs, the opportunity to live in a family setting, attend public school, and be active members of the community. To enable them to provide effective support to the entire family unit and ensure they feel confident in their respective positions, extensive training, 24-hour on-call services, and crisis response are offered to all Foster Parents. To help prepare a child to reunify with his or her birth family, or to be adopted, Foster Parents will work as a member of a team of families, service providers, and other community professionals.
