Long Term Foster Care is a foster care program that provides a safe, stable home and ongoing support for refugee children and adolescents who arrive in the United States without a parent or legal guardian able to care for them. The primary goal is to identify and place the child with a safe, suitable family member or other viable family connection within the United States, when possible. If reunification with family is not a viable option, the next step is to arrange a long term foster care placement where the child can experience stability, develop trusting relationships, adjust to a new culture, continue their education, and build the life skills necessary for adulthood and independence while navigating their future and potential for permanent placement in the United States.
