PLC’s array of community-based services includes foster care and adoption, independent living for youth aging out of foster care, family preservation, juvenile diversion, and parenting skills training.

The Foster Care program provides comprehensive long-term temporary child placement services. Children from birth to twenty-years old are placed in the care of trained and certified families while they heal, adjust, and prepare for a permanent home. While the program collaborates with our loving foster families to ensure that the welfare of each child in our care is the primary concern, the ultimate goal remains a permanent placement—reunification with a biological parent, adoption, or transition to independent.

Responsibilities

• Manage assigned treatment foster homes and parents as the primary point of contact, maintaining accountability throughout recruitment, licensing, placement, support, renewal, corrective action, and closure.
