DCFS is focusing its summer on foster dad recruitment

of Child and Family Services)With the number of foster youth continuously outpacing the number of available foster homes in rural Nevada, the Dept. of Child and Family Services (DCFS) is constantly striving to add foster care providers to its ranks and this summer, the focus is on inspiring men to help fill the need. They have so much to offer, to show our kids who have maybe never had that type of father figure before – teaching them how to do everyday things, things with cars, different household things. Then your licensing worker writes up your home study, which is required for all foster care and adoption. For those who may not feel they can take on the role of a foster care provider, there are still many ways to help foster youth without offering housing.
