Requirements to become a foster parent
Because there aren't enough foster parents in the District of Columbia, many foster kids end up living in nearby Maryland. However, D.C. has its own minimum requirements for licensing foster parents. Parents for District foster children need must:
- Be at least 21 years old
- Prove financial resources to support a child
- Rent or own a home
- Show you are healthy enough to care for a child
- Provide enough space in the house for each foster child
- Complete 30 hours of training
- Pass a Home Study
There is no minimum parenting experience required. Foster parents in the District of Columbia can be single or married, with or without biological children at home. In fact, licensed homes are often a mix of biological and foster or adopted children.
You can work outside the home or be a stay-at-home parent. To help offset the costs of childcare, foster families receive assistance for every foster child in the home.

(Translated by Google) Bad option if you do not speak English perfectly or if you are Latino. I was waiting for 2 years for help and after many failed attempts, I gave up.

Mala opción si no hablas ingles perfectamente o si eres latino. Estuve 2 años esperando ayuda y después de muchos intentos fallidos, me di por vencido.

An incompetent and unprofessional HR Manager (P. L) is taking a role in this agency, which should be brought to attention.

Bad staffing and too much waiting
Feb 02, 2022
There will be a lot of people waiting for hours to come here because the leader they have chosen here is not a leader and has no experience in their work.
