The goal of the Foster Care Program is to ensure that placements facilitate and maintain family ties, are in the best interest of the child, and meet the provisions of the Department of Child and Family Services (DCFS) Foster Care Contract. Our mission is to provide diverse services that inspire people to improve the quality of their lives in their greatest time of need.
Central to our philosophy of care is advocacy for peace and justice. We believe in the inalienable human right to live and work safely, free from violence, oppression, and abuse. We are guided by the principle that people have the right to self-determination as we join them on their journey of healing. We strive to instill hope through client-centered services provided in a safe and confidential environment

Requirements to become a foster parent
You must meet minimum requirements to provide foster care for children in Illinois. To become a foster parent, you must:
- Be at least 21 years old
- Attend foster parent orientation
- Pass a background check
- Finish 30 hours of foster parent training
- Complete the Home Study
- Provide at least three references

Foster families must be able to provide a safe and comfortable home for a child. You must provide room for the child to have a bed and enough space for personal belongings.
Foster parents do not need to be married or have a partner. However, if married, couples must show a stable marriage of at least one year before they can foster a child in Illinois.
Foster parents need to meet a child's basic care needs, such as providing meals and clothing. Foster families must also support a foster child's education and assist them in developing social skills.
Contact the DCFS or a local licensed child-placing agency to learn more or begin the fostering approval process.

I was in the tornado back when it came through Cresthill and Plainfield and they helped us with food and clothes they were super nice. They also helped my daughter get clothes for school. We were having a hard time due to loosening our son in the tornado.

It's a nice facility but the counselors are rude and disrespectful. They talk to you like you are a kid. They degrade you in your time of need. They don't help you with anything. They wouldn't even get my son a composition book. Guardian Angel misleads you into thinking you're going to get help but they just send you to another shelter. FALSE ADVERTISEMENT you better off just going to a shelter on your own. Poor use of Joliet IL tax payers money
