Instead of waiting for bad things to happen to children, Safe Families can step in to help. By design, child welfare systems are designed to react AFTER something bad happens to a child. Such interventions can be necessary in cases of abuse and neglect, but we can help BEFORE bad things occur.
Through Host Families, Family Friends, and Family Coaches, Safe Families temporarily host children and provide a network of support to families in crisis while they get back on their feet. Families in crisis are able to voluntarily place their children with Safe Families and continue to retain custody during the placement. They can come from any background and be referred by anyone.
We open our hearts, open our arms, and open our homes.
