Foster Care

We find safe, temporary families for children and teens throughout New York City and Long Island. In addition to family foster care, we also provide therapeutic foster care for children with behavioral health challenges and group homes for young adults, young women with children, and LGBTQ youth.

The ultimate goal of foster care is permanency. We work to ensure that children are safely reunified with their family, placed in loving adoptive homes, or confidently set on the path to adulthood.
