Becoming a Licensed Foster Parent through Henderson County DSS:

With over 120 children in Henderson County’s custody, and climbing, there is a huge need for foster families in Henderson County!

You can be single, married, divorced, homeowner, or renter. The only requirement is being prepared to keep these kids safe and supported during his traumatic time in their lives for as long (or short) as you have them in your home!

If you are interested in becoming a licensed foster parent, including long term (over 72 hours) respite care, go to Foster Care | Henderson County North Carolina (hendersoncountync.gov) for information. The next licensing class starts in June!!
