Foundations For Home & Community Inc

Foundations For Home & Community, a treatment foster care program, is committed to providing therapeutic foster care, case management, behavioral health, and educational services to at-risk children in the Maryland and Washington D.C. areas. The organization's mission is to strengthen and preserve kinship ties with the family of origin. To achieve this, Foundations For Home & Community offers strengths-based, child-centered, and trauma-informed foster care services. Their approach prioritizes the wellbeing of children from newborn to age 21 who require out-of-home, community-based care.

During fiscal year 2022, the organization had approximately 24,299 TFC (treatment foster care) visits, demonstrating their commitment to serving a significant number of children in need. Foundations For Home & Community provides quality case management services, which include foster-parent coaching, guidance, and training, school advocacy, respite care, after-care planning, and coordination of necessary treatment services to meet therapeutic treatment plans and permanency goals. These services are delivered in the homes of trained treatment families, under the support, supervision, and 24-hour crisis intervention of clinically trained professionals.

Moreover, Foundations For Home & Community offers ongoing competency-based training to their therapeutic foster families. This training is essential in equipping these families with the necessary skills to provide the best possible care for the children they are hosting. By strengthening the kinship ties with the family of origin, Foundations For Home & Community aims to improve the overall wellbeing and future prospects of these at-risk children.
