A new foster care model is expanding opportunities for children in need by allowing specially licensed homes to provide dedicated care for up to six foster children at once. Certified foster parents, who receive financial support through a paid stipend, oversee the children’s daily needs under this structured approach. The system aims to create stable, family-like environments while ensuring professional supervision for vulnerable youth. Details on how this differs from traditional foster care arrangements are explored in the full report.
Each home is licensed to house up to six foster children under the dedicated care of a full-time certified foster parent who receives a paid stipend.
