Valley Foster Children Need Homes

Our foster care system is a system in crisis. If you are interested in opening up your home to a foster child, an upcoming event will be of interest to you.

Right now there are a little more than 2,000 children in foster care and only about 900 licensed foster homes in Clark County.

If you were not able to attend the Foster Family Recruitment event held on Friday, July 28 and Saturday, July 29 at Palace Station, click here for Family Services' foster care information.
