Since 1976, we have led the effort to provide intervention services, and coordinate community services necessary to resolving issues threatening children's lives and the family unit as a whole.
From the beginning it has been UFC's philosophy that services should be provided an easily accessible and culturally competent manner, UFC has since developed into an efficient, midsize, comprehensive family and community based services agency.

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.
