D.Y.F.S. Looking for Foster Parents

The Division of Youth and Family Services (D.Y.F.S.) is looking for potential foster parents who are willing and able to take into their homes abused or neglected adolescents on a temporary, emergency basis, 24 hours a day. The recruitment is part of an effort to establish 67 emergency foster homes in New Jersey under a $108,331.00 grant awarded by the United States Department of Health, Education and Welfare's National Center on Child Abuse and Neglect. The grant will allow D.Y.F.S. to pay $150.00 per month to emergency foster parents for maintaining their availability at all hours anjbr offering specialized care while the youths are in the, emergency foster home. Emergency foster parents will receive the regular D.Y.F.S. monthly foster care board rate for each child during the tirrtj he or she is placed in their home. “Our objective is to provide abused and neglected adolescents with emergency temporary shelter in a safe, secure and actively supportive environment while the Division tries to develop a permanent arrangement for them,” Bemice Manshel, D.Y.F.S., Director said. In order to be considered for the program, potential foster parents must agree to i accept adolescents on an emtrgency basis 24 hours a day; accept up

to three adolescents at one time; accept any adolescent that needs to be placed by the Divisioft of Youth and Family Services District Office; and take part in a training program for foster parents. Adolescents placed in an emergency foster home will stay up to 60 days. The $150.0C retainer fee will be paid only while the program is funded by the grant, a period of one year. During this time, the Division will conduct an evaluation of the program and a follow-up of the children involved to determine the effectiveness of the retainer fees and the benefits to the children. For more information, call the Cape May County District Office at 886-1105.
