DCCCA Benefits:

Why should you consider becoming a foster family through DCCCA?

  • At the time of placement, DCCCA Family Preservation workers have worked directly with child and birth family and will have all important information regarding the child.
  • We assign a social worker to your home who you can contact 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
  • DCCCA provides foster parent liability insurance continuing education, training and support groups for resource parents.
  • In exchange for providing a safe and supportive home environment, DCCCA will provide you with a daily reimbursement, paid every two weeks, to help cover costs for providing care to foster children. Rates paid to you by DCCCA vary depending on the needs and challenges of each child.
  • Range of payment to resource parents from $21.00 to $50.00 per day per child.
  • As a DCCCA foster parent, you are allowed two days of respite care (vacation) per month at no cost to you.
