CARING FOR FOSTER CHILDREN BY PROVIDING TRANSITIONAL HOUSING AND TRAINING FAMILIES.

Describe the Organization's Program Activity:

Part 3 - Line 4a

THE LANDING - AN EMERGENCY SHELTER FOR CHILDREN ENTERING FOSTER CARE FOR THE FIRST TIME. WE ENSURE CHILDREN RECEIVE WHATEVER SPECIALIZED CARE THEY MIGHT NEED AND BUY ENOUGH TIME FOR SOCIAL WORKERS TO LOCATE THE IDEAL HOME FOR EACH CHILD.


SKOOKUM PARENTS - WE TRAIN, LICENSE, AND SUPPORT VOLUNTEER FOSTER FAMILIES AS THEY CARE FOR CHILDREN WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED ABUSE OR NEGLECT. OUR PRIMARY GOAL IS TO CULTIVATE A NETWORK OF NATURAL SUPPORT AROUND A CHILD AND THEIR FAMILY MAKING REUNIFICATION MORE LIKELY AND RECIDIVISM UNTHINKABLE.


FAMILY TIME - MORE THAN 80% OF CHILDREN IN FOSTER CARE HAVE COURT-ORDERED VISITATION WITH THEIR FAMILY OF ORIGIN. SKOOKUM HAS FACILITATED THESE VISITS SINCE 2016 FOR JUST THE CHILDREN IN OUR LICENSED HOMES. BUT CONTRACTION IN THE PROVIDER NETWORK (MOSTLY FROM COVID-DRIVEN EARLY RETIREMENTS) HAS CREATED A NEED THAT SKOOKUM HAS STEPPED UP TO ADDRESS. TODAY WE ARE THE SINGLE LARGEST PROVIDER OF FAMILY TIME IN THE REGION.


FOSTER FAMILY SUPPORT - FOSTER CARE IS EMOTIONALLY COMPLEX WORK. WE SUPPORT FAMILIES AS THEY SERVE THROUGH A CREATIVE MIX OF ENCOURAGEMENT AND TRAINING, SUCH AS OUR SUPPORT GROUP, MONTHLY FAMILY NIGHT OUT EVENTS, AND ADULT MENTORS FOR CHILDREN IN FOSTER CARE.
