Requirements to become a foster parent
Foster parents receive a reimbursement or payment to help with care costs. According to the Oregon Department of Human Services, the Oregon foster care rates are as follows:
- Base rate payment of $693 per month (age 0-5 years)
- Base rate payment of $733 per month (age 6-12)
- Base rate payment of $795 per month (age 13 - 20)
These payments are meant to help cover the costs of food, clothing, housing, transportation, personal care items, etc. Parents may also receive a shelter care payment.
The DHS or private foster care agencies provide flexible training opportunities, on-call support, access to a network of professionals, support groups, and respite care.
Respite care gives full-time foster parents a break when needed or allows them to address emergency situations.
With Love Oregon is a non-profit that supports foster families by providing clothing and supplies to young children. Parents can get clothing, diapers, car seats, and more.

They help when you need the most
Jul 13, 2021
Just give them a call. They care and they will help. I hesitated because I'm not religious and was wary of the "Catholic" part, but there was no religious component whatsoever. You don't have to be Catholic and neither do the counsellors.
I'm forever grateful to everyone at CC for the support they've given me. Soad Abdi, my counsellor, is a kind, intelligent, fiercely supportive advocate. In addition to her insightful and non-judgemental one-on-one sessions, she helped me get access to food resources, a trauma specialist, and a social worker. When we discovered my diagnosis is most effectively treated with DBT, she fought to get me into an intensive specialized program.
Catholic Charities accepts OHP; my sessions, medications, everything was 100% covered. My life is immeasurably improved because I called this organization. I hope anyone who's even thinking about it will give them a chance.
