Licking County, Ohio

Description

Foster parents are needed to provide temporary homes and care for children who are unable to live in their own homes due to the substantial risk of abuse and/or neglect. There is a very great need for more foster parents. Currently, there are not enough foster parents in Licking County to serve the increasing number of children who are placed in foster care. Too often children are placed in foster homes in other counties, which makes it more difficult to provide services to the child, foster family and birth family.
