State and local agencies face desperate shortage of foster homes:
ANCHORAGE, Alaska - After the COVID-19 pandemic changed a lot of things for a lot of people, one sector that was greatly affected was foster care.
According to Ledford, AK Child & Family receives around 30 referrals a week. Many of these are being denied to no foster homes being available for placement. “Having had that awesome experience we wanted the opportunity to be that experience in someone else’s story,” Cory said. “We wanted the opportunity to be that family for another family.”
“We’re always recruiting foster homes. We always say recruiting a foster home is everyone’s business, because we need more people to meet the needs,” Guay said. “We really aren’t just looking for a home, we’re looking for the right home.” The state is also exploring other methods of recruiting more people to become foster parents through partnering with tribal leaders in rural areas of the state to allow children to stay in their communities.
