North Homes, Inc.
North Homes is licensed by the Minnesota Department of Human Services to offer child foster care licensing and case management. Children and their families benefit from foster homes that are supportive, mentoring and caring. By providing children and adolescents in need with a nurturing family home, we are able to provide children the most appropriate setting to address their needs.
North Homes follows Quality Parenting Initiative (QPI) practices. QPI is rooted in three principles: the prioritization of excellent parenting and meaningful relationships; the use of research; and putting those with lived experiences at the center of policy change.
Additionally, North Homes can work with relatives of children in foster care so that they can become licensed in providing foster care and/or adoption.

Support Payments
Minnesotan foster parents receive a monthly basic payment to help with the care costs of the foster child. Payments vary depending on the child's age and circumstances. They start at $650 per month.
In some circumstances, foster parents can also receive a difficulty of care supplemental monthly rate. These payments help support children with physical and mental difficulties and can be up to $1,500 per month.
