We recruit, license, and support loving foster families that provide stability and safety to children in the midst of uncertainty.
Children unable to live safely at home find security, guidance, and opportunity with CHS. Our first priority is always their safety and well-being, and our case managers are passionate about building bridges to success for children in foster care. We also empower kids to realize their full potential by providing opportunities for counseling, tutoring other educational activities, recreational activities, mentoring, and more. Thousands of Florida children need a safe place to live – right now. These kids – from newborns to teenagers – can’t live at home until their families work through challenges interfering with their safety.
They need hope, love, and structure. If you’re ready to open your heart and home, we can’t wait to talk to you.

Requirements to become a foster parent
Many adults are eligible to become foster parents in their state but do not always realize it. Each state in the U.S. has regulations and requirements for licensing foster parents. Florida does not require parents to own a large home or quit their jobs and become stay-at-home parents. Florida foster parents must:
- Be 21 years of age or older
- Prove good health and ability to care for a child
- Maintain a stable income
- Pass a background screening
- Finish 30 hours of foster parent training
- Complete a Home Study
The required training course is free to aspiring foster parents. It helps parents learn how to foster children and become licensed to provide foster care in Florida.

This place is horrible. The police is at this place all the time. I think that this place is not safe for children period. Some staff and house parents are extremely DISRESPECTFUL. Staff puts hand on children and leaves marks on all kinds. This place is infested COCKROACHES, BEDBUGS, SPIDERS, and TERMITES IN THE WALL. Kids always running away I this place. I think this place need to be SHUT DOWN.
