You, Lord, give true peace to those who depend on you because they trust you.
So, trust the Lord always, because he is our Rock forever.
Isaiah 26:3-4

What to Expect from I.C.A.:

Prospective foster parents are entitled to full information and training regarding what foster parenting entails. A social worker is assigned to explain the regulations, application process, training, answers questions and prepares the certification process. The process will also include fingerprinting, a home study evaluation and psychological evaluation.

Financial Matters:

I.C.A. is paid by the counties at the end of each month for each day a child is in our care. The rate of reimbursement depends upon the age of the child and the type of program. In foster care, I.C.A. deducts its operating expenses from the reimbursement and then pays the foster family for their expenses. Foster families are on a fixed rate of reimbursement depending on the age of the child. Reimbursement does not increase if the families elect to take on additional expenses. The foster parent payment is expected to cover room and board, clothing, personal needs, recreation, transportation, education, supervision and incidentals. Payments are made after the end of each month based upon the number of days the child was in the home during the preceding month. Payment is made for the first day of placement but not the last day.
