Comprehensive services that support strong families.
Building and strengthening families, as well as individuals within families, is at the very heart of the support Catholic Charities provides to children and their parents and guardians.
From adoption services to early intervention to help keep families together, to foster care for youth from all over the world fleeing abuse, neglect, and violence. All of our services and programs are focused on helping families build, strengthen, and achieve their full potential.
Our mission: We walk with the most vulnerable as they journey toward independence, with dignity, to reach their full human potential. As a member of Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Rochester, we advocate for those in need throughout every stage of life and work in partnership with faith communities of all denominations and with those who are committed to addressing local needs.

Requirements to become a foster parent
Raising foster children is a rewarding and life-changing experience. You can make a real difference in a child's life, helping them on a path toward success.
Remember that fostering affects the whole family, so talk to your partner and biological children if you're considering this journey. Learn more about what to expect and ensure it fits your lifestyle. You must be healthy and have enough time and energy to care for a child and meet their needs. This is important for gaining foster parent approval because every child must have this foundation of support.
Each state has requirements for foster parents. In New York, applicants must:
- Be 21 years of age or older
- Live in a safe and stable environment
- Have enough space for a foster child
- Show financially stability
- Prove that all family members are in good health
- Pass a background check
- Clear a home safety inspection
- Attend required foster parent training
- Complete the Home Study process
- Provide a minimum of three character references
Foster families in New York can rent or own their homes. Adults can become foster parents no matter their marital or divorce status. All adults who are living in the home with foster children must pass the New York required criminal background check. Every adult must complete both state and federal background checks and undergo fingerprinting.
Interested candidates can make the first call to foster services and get the approval and licensing process started. Contact the New York Office of Children and Family Services (NYOCFS) or your local Department of Social Services (DSS). The first step after expressing interest will be to attend a foster orientation. Potential foster parents can learn about the approval process at the event and get questions answered by a foster child advocate.
The foster parent training requirement begins with pre-service training. After getting licensed, foster parents must participate in ongoing training and educational programs.

The services provided are the bare minimum, CEO does not care about the quality of care or facilities. CCFCC has had multiple sites shut down due to neglect and inappropriate staff conduct, including physical abuse towards clients, staff members using narcotics on the clock, and putting clients in harms way. Corrupt agency. Would never recommend. Claims
To be a non profit, that is a lie.

CCFCS has given me opportunity for growth and advancement. Leadership is open to working with you when you show initiative and desire to want more. High pay rate compared to other agencies out there. Always expanding and growing so there is always room to try and explore different departments. Pinwheel and Racial & Equity Committee reflects CCFCS value for its employees for engagement and what are important to them. I feel heard and valued working here. I highly recommend CCFCS if you are passionate about helping others.
