What is Foster Care intervention?
The Foster Care Intervention team works with individual families who have open cases with the Department of Children and Family Services.
We help families stay together by providing basic necessities and in many cases, the furniture they need. Our goal in partnering with DCFS is to help loving families avoid separation, provide support families who are in the process of reunification and ultimately help close their case.
Foster Care Intervention requirements are:
The family must have an open case through DCFS (Department of Children and Family Services) or be involved in family preservation services.
The family must reside within a 15-mile radius of our facility (in Echo Park).
Furniture assistance must be a required step in either closing the case, helping with reunification, or preventing separation.
The family must be willing to schedule an appointment with our staff and ensure someone is available at the agreed-upon time.
Additionally, the home must have enough space to accommodate the required furniture.
