Children in foster care receive medical, dental, and mental health care through the state. They qualify for free school lunches and various school fee waivers. Younger children also qualify for the WIC program for food. In addition to these support programs, foster families receive a modest financial reimbursement intended to offset the cost of caring for the children in their home.

Foster families are part of an extended team of child welfare experts and other foster families dedicated to the care of abused and neglected children. Of course, it all starts here, with K Connections—we get you started with the process, offer state-mandated training, and provide ongoing emotional and logistical supports.
