Placement Restrictions and Preferences

You can add information about a Foster Family's placement restrictions and preferences in the Placement Restrictions and Preferences card on the main page of the resource. This information will help you track which resources would be the best fit when you are looking for an open placement. They will also help you filter the placement match index.

To enter a restriction or preference

• 1. Click Edit on the Placement Restrictions and Preferences card on the overview page of a Foster Family home with an active license. If there are no restrictions or preferences entered, all fields on the card will read "none".

• 1. Check all boxes that describe the resources preferences and restrictions. The checkboxes are split into the following categories: Placement Restrictions, Gender & Age preferences, Willing to Foster Special Needs or Other Considerations, and an open text field to enter other considerations.

• 1. Click Save.

  2. The preferences and restrictions will populate the card on the main page of the resource.
