A license is required to operate a foster home. An application and a home study are required. All adults living in the home must successfully complete a fingerprint-based criminal background check.
To find the agency nearest you, to request an application, or to visit with foster care representatives about the licensing process, contact the foster care agency in the county or region in which you live.
