Child Welfare Services

Children Deserve to Be Surrounded by Caring Adults

Every child needs a stable and caring environment, and every child deserves a permanent and safe home with loving, involved caretakers. Our Child Welfare Team ensures that children receive these essentials for healthy development and growth.
We serve children that are placed in substitute care for whom the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services have legal responsibility. These children require placement in licensed foster homes, or our emergency shelter due to abuse and neglect. All children and youth served by our Foster Care program must be referred by the Department of Children and Family Services.
