Partners in Development Foundation
Partners in Development Foundation (PIDF) empowers families to navigate social challenges and to grow self-resiliency, vibrancy, and healthy, secure communities in Hawaiʻi.
E mālama i ka ‘ohana, ola ke kaiāulu, care for the family, and the community lives.
From our beginnings in 1997, Partners in Development Foundation draws on ʻike kupuna, ancestral wisdom and knowledge, to meet the current challenges facing Hawaiʻi. We serve the needs of young keiki, their caregivers, and economically vulnerable youth and families in the Hawaiian community to overcome systematic disparities and historical trauma. Our programs are guided by time-tested values and practices that honor our kuleana for people and place in caring for our islands and communities.
E ola ka ‘ohana, may the family thrive.
Partners in Development Foundation believes that nurturing family success will ignite their ability to serve others.

Requirements to become a foster parent
The Hawaii Department of Human Services and its partners strive to support resource families. You can find many educational resources on the DHS website. Plus, foster parents can use the Warm Line support number for information, referrals, and general support.
The Warm Line for resource families is Oahu (808) 545-1130 and Neighbor Islands 1-866-545-0882.
Your local licensed foster care agency is there for you as well. Many child placement agencies in the state are working hard to recruit foster parents and provide support in every way they can.
If you have questions or concerns about the process or meeting the needs of a child in your care, you can always call or message them.
There are also online resources available, such as blog posts, to help you deal with obstacles and learn more about the impact of fostering.
Remember, you're never alone! Use the support groups and resources out there, and it will make your parenting journey much easier.
