Making a Difference in the Life of a Child

CHS works diligently to provide safe homes for every child in need of a temporary safe haven. We recruit, train, license, and support foster families so they can provide the best possible care for children in need.

CHS is dedicated to helping both children and families with extensive support and services until a permanent plan for the child in determined. Foster families receive a stipend determined by the state each month of non-taxable funds to assist with the cost of food and housing for the child. Foster families may also receive assistance with medical care, clothing, and special enrichment experiences for children in their care. All foster families are required to complete annual training to maintain their foster care license.

CHS Foster Services Include:

• Infant Foster Care
• Family Foster Care
• Therapeutic Foster Care
• Respite Care

Becoming a Foster Parent
Foster parents are special people who provide a nurturing, stable environment for children. They may be married or single, ages 21 and over, may or may not have children of their own, and must have sufficient income for the needs of their own family. They give children the love and support they need in order to cope with feelings of grief and loss. CHS foster parents must live in North Carolina. Contact CHS if you are interested in becoming a foster parent.
