Foster care is when a child is placed in a temporary, safe home in a time of crisis. Adult caregivers, commonly known as Foster Parents or Resource Parents, then become part of the child’s support system, providing them with the necessities of life and healing programs designed to help them process the trauma they have endured. Resource Parents work with the child’s social workers, teachers, and doctors, to proactively nurture, love, and advocate for their needs until they are reunified with their birth family or are adopted.
A Greater Hope actively searches for and approves families that are committed to helping children and can care for and nurture them without hesitation. Families in these positions must be ready to work towards the greater good of the children placed in their care.

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.

An employee made a false statement.
Jan 06, 2020
I had a bad experience with this agency. They're not on the same page with the County workers. So, you get blame cuz they didn't let the country workers know.

Some of the hardest work individuals that I know. A Greater Hope offers so many wonderful services for children and families. Their goal is to keep children safe and help to reunite families. I have witnessed children either returning to their biological family because of the help they offer to the parents. I have also witnessed children getting adopted by loving individuals who really have the child"s best interests at heart. Whether you are a parent or adoptive parent, A Greater Hope provides the help you need to raise beautiful productive and happy children

I received Notice of Action Regarding Resources Family Approval on 1-25-19
The letter said This denial is base upon failure to provide satisfactory evidence that i can meet or conform to all requirement and it also said (I have advised GHF that i am unable to provide that required documentation to GHF.) This statement is FALSE !! GREATER HOPE FOUNDATION was provided my Income During my interview September2018 after my fingerprint was approved and before my Home inspection was approved. Jesse Maurice, AA Program Specialist- Recruitment
Was aware of my income and verified this and all so at my home inspection. THIS LETTER SHE SENT ME IS A FALSE STATEMENT ..
I VERY SURE THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE WHO BECAME A FOSTER PARENT WITH GREATER HOPE FOUNDATION WITH A SSI INCOME AND A HOBBY OF BRAIDING HAIR I HAVE STAY IN MY SAME PLACE FOR 4. 1/2 YEARS
I BELIEVE THIS WAS A PERSONAL DECISION
GREATER HOPE FOUNDATION NEW MY INCOME AND APPROVED THIS IN SEPTEMBER2018 BUT DENY ME JANUARY2019 BECAUSE THEY SAY MY INCOME
THIS DO NOT ADD UP
I started my classes August2018 and finished in September2018 with Noelle Wood recruitment specialist my fingerprint was clear my papers work and INCOME was clear and. (MY MEDICAL INFORMATION SUBMITTED TO MY DOCTOR!! THEY RECEIVED:) I had got a signed approved agreement from my property management company to approve me to foster a child in my home My home inspection was approved on December5.2018 Noelle Wood, her Supervisor Mrs. Jesse adoption social worker Tina ogg came to my home took pictures of my home in took a picture of myself Tina Ogg gave me baby items when she came back to my home I was informed by them that there is no reason why the country will deny me I had got approved by Greater Hope Foundation but after me giving Greater Hope Foundation all my personal information they deny me on January18.2019 was informed by Mrs. Jesse my income was not enough !! She never said this until January28.2019 when she came to my home December5.2018 Country never came to my home only Greater Hope Foundation but Mrs. Jesse said County was making the final decision .What Greater Hope Foundation did me was WRONG UNPROFESSIONAL AND I BELIEVE IS ILLEGAL!!! COLLECTED ALL MY PERSONAL INFORMATION CAME TO MY HOME ASKED ME WHERE DO I KEEP MY PERSONAL PAPERS WHICH HAVE NOTHING TOO DO WITH ME BECOMING A FOSTER PARENT .
