Protecting Kids: Dependency Case Management
Children unable to live safely at home find security, guidance, and opportunity with CHS. Our 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.

Early Childhood Court
Our Early Childhood Court program is committed to helping families succeed. Our dedicated team of advocates, therapists, child welfare professionals, and service providers work alongside the family’s case manager to help them achieve well-being and success. Keeping the child’s best interests at hand, the young child will either return home to their parents or begin their new journey to a forever family through adoption on an expedited timeline.

We recruit, license, and support loving foster families that provide stability and safety to children amid uncertainty.

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.

Very professional and caring staff.
Aug 06, 2023
The Children's Home Society of Jacksonville sold me to my adopted parents many years ago. When I turned 18 I went to try and get my information and background so I could know my identity. They told me my grandmother had kept her address up to date in my file for all those years. But they wouldn't help me get in contact until I paid them a "research fee" of $500. Even though no research was needed.... You read this correctly, they extort the now adult adoptees for money, just to get in touch with biological relatives that already want to be in touch. Buying and selling babies is human trafficking. Please don't give your babies to this horrible agency, because all they do is sell them to the highest bidder and then extort them when they want to get in touch with their real family. Furthermore, this agency does not require prospective adoptive parents to have any type of psychological evaluation. They just require a home study and credit check. So any rich infertile person can buy a baby from them no matter their psychological state. My adopted home was highly abusive. The Children's Home Society of Jacksonville sold me to my abuser.
