When children and youth are no longer safe living at home and there is no appropriate non-custodial parent, relative, or close family friend able or willing to care for them, the court will give CPS temporary legal possession of the child or youth.
Foster care is meant to be a temporary placement but can sometimes turn into a permanent placement. Children and Youth in foster care may live in different foster care settings such as:
- Foster families
- Foster family group homes
- Residential care facilities
- Facilities operated by other state agencies
