Ark Homes Foster Family Agency is a 501 (C) (3) non-profit organization that is licensed by the state of California. We continue to strive for excellence in making a difference in the lives of children. Our foster care program provides stable, loving homes for children and teens from infancy to 18 years of age who are unable to live with their biological families. Children referred to the program are often victims of abuse and neglect and have special emotional needs.
We facilitate foster care homes throughout the Riverside, San Bernardino, and Orange counties. Ark Homes Foster Family Agency accepts children of all genders, between the ages of one day old through non-minor dependents (NMD). The agency accepts children who are in foster-adopt placements, high-risk infants and toddlers, children with behavior problems, and children/NMDs. Ark Homes Foster Family Agency’s goal is to provide care, supervision, and well-being of children males and females from 0 to 17 years old and Non-Minor Dependents (NMD) 18 to 21 placed with Ark Homes FFA and to provide them with the kind of ongoing therapeutic services and skills training which will meet their problems and needs.
Ark Homes FFA services are individualized, culturally relevant, trauma-informed, and family-centered. Ark Homes FFA supports children, non-minor dependents, and families from different backgrounds or experiences, including race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, or a child or non-minor dependent who is gender non-conforming, as well as CSEC population and non-minor dependents.

Requirements to become a foster parent
Many do not realize the need for new resource families in California. The number of foster kids outnumber the foster families who can provide short or long-term care. Foster advocates work hard to find places for these children, but it is not easy.
The latest 2021 report from the Adoption and Foster Care Analysis and Reporting System (AFCARS) report in California says there are:
- 47,871 kids in California's foster care system
- 22,892 who entered foster care
- 15,386 foster kids awaiting adoption
- California foster kids across all ages, with a median of 8 years
- 33% whose foster child case plans include adoption
A child's median time in the California foster care system is over a year at 16.8 months. 13% spend 3-4 years in foster care.
California needs foster parents to take in multiple children if they have the time and energy to care for them. Sibling groups often need care, and it is essential to support these family bonds. In California, it is challenging to find homes for teenagers, though they need stable environments and reliable adults to support them.

I was an intern with this agency in 2015. I enjoy my time being an intern with this agency. Everyone was very helpful and informative. In 2016 they called me back and hired me as administrative staff. I was happy when they called me back because I wanted to work with the agency after I left my internship position with them. They are a family-oriented agency, and everyone is nice. The agency is very flexible when it comes to family. It is 2020 and I’m still working with this wonderful agency. It is a great place to work.

This agency is AMAZING!!! Everyone is friendly and very professional. They make you feel like family from the very first call. I’ve attended the trainings including CPR. As a retired social worker, I’m preparing to foster children. They’ve made this experience beautiful for me. Thanks to Meena and Zara for all your support and commitment to making children safe.
