Children's Hope Foster Family Agency
Children's Hope was founded in 2000, with a goal of not being the biggest agency, but to be the best at what we do." A hundred years from now it will not matter what my bank account was or the kind of car I drove; but the world may be different because I was important in the life of a child." With the effort of our dedicated foster homes, social workers,office staff, volunteers and donators we have succeeded in maintaining our motto of "Making a Difference, One Child at a Time!" Children’s Hope is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation regulated by the Community Care Licensing Division of the California State Department of Social Services. The agency recruits and certifies individual resource family homes. Children’s Hope professional staff members provide in-house, licensing, monitoring, and support services to the individual foster homes. The safety,comfort, success and happiness of our resource children is our first and foremost priority. We seek to provide youth of all ages with nurturing and supportive homes. Our resource families make it their priority to ensure these children are feeling loved and well taken care of as they experience life changing events while being away from their biological families.
