Resource Family Approval Process

The Resource Family Approval (RFA) process is a comprehensive procedure that certifies individuals or families to provide care for children needing foster or adoptive homes. It involves background checks, home assessments, and training to ensure the environment is safe and supportive. The goal is to confirm caregivers are prepared to meet the emotional and physical needs of children. Once approved, families are officially recognized as suitable resources, enabling them to provide foster, kinship, or adoptive care, and helping children find stable, nurturing environments.
