Virtual Foster Parent Information Session: 10/29/2025, 6 pm

Ready to learn what it takes to be a Foster Parent?

Open your heart and home to a child in need! You are needed! There are not enough foster parents in Washington to care for the number of children in need.

You can make a difference!

Service Alternatives contracts with the state of Washington to license foster homes and provide support to our foster families and the children they care for. We primarily license treatment foster homes for children between the ages of 6 and 18 years old, in Washington state, who need some additional support in order to be successful. We wrap an excellent level of support around our foster homes which includes:

* A licenser to guide you through the licensing process

* Monthly financial reimbursement: $3014

* Regular staff support to help children work on goals and learn new skills

* 24/7 crisis support as needed

* Case Management support

* monthly respite if desired

* a team approach

* Free trainings and monthly foster parent meetings for support and networking

Licensing, including trainings, is free!

Foster parents care for children full time or provide respite care. Respite foster care is a great way to get started and is reimbursed at $100 per day.

We hope you'll join us! We only license people who live in Washington state at this time.
