Foster Parent Recruitment, Retention and Support
FPRRS is an exciting initiative under Continuum of Care Reform (CCR), and it is the future of Placement. FPRRS is a strategy to reduce our reliance on the use of congregate care settings by increasing our capacity and inventory of resource families (formerly foster families) willing to care for foster youth served by Probation either as an initial placement or as a step down to home based care after completing a Short Term Residential Therapeutic Program (STRTP). Probation Officers in Placement Services will provide case management, resources and supportive services for resource families throughout the approval process and during the placement of foster youth in their home.
