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.
Are you a current foster parent with feedback to share with CHS? Complete this short form to let us know what’s on your mind! We read every single submission, and someone will respond to you soon.
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.
Protecting Kids: Foster Homes
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.

If i could give zero stars i would. I used children Home Society when placing my daughter in 1991. I was young and at the time my case worker was great, but then she left. I was supposed to have a open adoption and family was to send pictures and agreed to keep in touch. I received pictures up until my daughter was 7 and everything stopped. I have never moved without updating my information with agency. The family moved and never told the agency where they went. That's all fine and dandy, but i have called for years trying to get Children Home Society to help locate them. They now want me to pay to find her. I shouldn't have to pay because it waa supposed to be a open adoption and they have all information on myself and the family. Why should i have to pay for them to find the family when i could do it if i had a last name. They have everything, not only did they do me wrong by allowing the family to move without giving them their address, now I feel like they are ripping me off for money to find her.
