Specifications include, but are not limited to: The County has identified the need for a Resource Family Support Program (RFSP). This program will focus on providing support to ensure that a Resource Family (RF) has access to needed information and resources in order to stabilize and maintain children in a foster care placement. A RF is a caregiver who provides out-of-home care for children in foster care. RFs include individuals, couples and families. They may be related, have a familiar or mentoring relationship, or no previous relationship with the child. A RF is approved to provide care on a temporary (foster care) and/or permanent (adoption and legal guardianship) basis. A RF works together with DFCS and the child’s family to successfully return the child to their parents. The purpose of a RF is to provide a child with a feeling of safety, permanence, and well-being.
