We need all kinds of families for all kinds of kids
With approximately 1,000 children/youth in foster care in Santa Clara County, you can make a difference by opening your heart and home to a child/youth facing a difficult time. All children/youth deserve a safe and nurturing family so they can thrive, whether they are 2 or 17 years old.
Children/Youth are often confused, afraid, and angry when they come into foster care. A resource family can help build hope and comfort during this time in a child/youth’s life by creating stability and consistency, whether it is temporary or for a lifetime. This unconditional support may change the outcome of a child/youth’s life and prevent them from becoming another statistic.

Eligibility: We welcome all qualified applicants over the age of 18 from all different backgrounds, ethnicities, religions, sexual orientations and gender identity expressions.
