CHILDRENS HOPE FOSTER FAMILY AGENCY

Programs

1. In 2024, children's hope successfully identified, trained, and supported safe and loving resource family homes to provide both short and long-term care for 379 foster children and youth (clients) throughout california, resulting in 57,531 client days in care. The organization's dedicated social workers provided weekly in-home visits to each resource family, ensuring consistent support and individualized care for both clients and caregivers. Through these visits, the organization worked closely with clients to stabilize behaviors and foster environments grounded in love, empowering clients to build lives filled with purpose, hope, and joy. Efforts resulted in numerous successful reunifications with biological parents. Additionally, relationships between clients and resource parents were intentionally nurtured, often developing into permanent placements through adoption, legal guardianship, or long-term mentorships. The organization increased public awareness of the ongoing needs of foster clients, resulting in a measurable rise in community engagement and an increase in the number of resource parents committed to providing care for children in need.
