Foster-sf website

Foster-SF.org is a website of the City and County of San Francisco Human Services Agency (HSA) that helps streamline how we recruit and certify foster parents. The HSA Family and Children’s Services (FCS) division provides child welfare services focused on the safety, permanency, and well-being of children, youth, and families. FCS also responds to reports of child abuse and neglect in San Francisco County. As part of our child welfare mandate, FCS recruits, evaluates, and approves San Francisco residents who are interested in becoming foster families. Once approved, a foster family can rely on FCS’s ongoing support for their foster child’s education, medical, and mental health services. Our goal for all foster youth is reunification with their families whenever possible. When it is not, we help explore and coordinate their adoption. We work closely with partners who provide adoption and mentoring services.
