Tell us about the service category:
The goal of the Clarvida foster care system is to provide safe, stable home environments for children who have been put into an Out-of-Home Placement, primarily as a result of abuse and/or neglect within their family of origin. As the State, County, or legal guardian addresses issues in the child’s home and family environment, foster parents can help give the child a sense of normalcy, security, and safety while supporting the goal of a child’s permanency.
