Kemmerer Village provides community-based services for children and adolescents, ages 0 – 21 years. For a variety of reasons, these young people need an alternative home environment with the added support of professional casework, and case management services. Our various programs are accredited by the Council on Accreditation and licensed by the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services.
The Kemmerer Village Community Services staff performs the licensing and ongoing monitoring of the foster homes in which our children are placed. Our foster parents undergo thorough screening via an application process, background checks, and Home Studies. Our foster parents also receive extensive training prior to having their first child placed with them. We currently provide these services to over 100 foster homes, spread throughout the counties of: Christian, Shelby, Montgomery, Fayette, Macon and Moultrie. Our professional staff and foster parents are dedicated to, and experienced at, providing a safe, nurturing home environment allowing the opportunity for the child to flourish.

  • Attend foster parent orientation
  • Pass a background check

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.
