PRIOR TO LICENSURE. KIN FAMILIES ARE FACED WITH THE BURDEN TO BECOME LICENSED IN ORDER TO RECEIVE THE REIMBURSEMENT, SUPPORT AND OVERSIGHT COMMUNITY FOSTER FAMILIES RECEIVE. THIS PROCESS REQUIRES KIN FAMILIES TO ATTEND TRAINING, BECOME CPR CERTIFIED, PASS A MEDICAL EXAM, PASS A LIFE SAFETY INSPECTION AND COMPLETE NUMBER OF OTHER TASKS WHICH CAN BRING FINANCIAL STRESS UPON THE FAMILY. THIS STRESS, IN TURN, CAN DELAY OR PREVENT A KIN FAMILY FROM BECOMING LICENSED. WE RECEIVE REFERRALS FROM ARIZONA DEPARTMENT OF CHILD SERVICES LICENSING AGENCIES AND THAT ARE WORKING WITH FAMILIES EXPERIENCING FINANCIAL DIFFICULTIES. WE BELIEVE THAT BY HELPING TO PROVIDE IN-KIND DONATIONS AND ASSISTANCE, SUCH AS FIRE EXTINGUISHERS, SMOKE ALARMS, FEES FOR CPR CLASSES, WE CAN REMOVE SOME OF THE OBSTACLES THAT SLOW DOWN THE LICENSING PROCESS WHILE MAKING HOME SAFE FOR THESE VULNERABLE CHILDREN. BOOST A FOSTER FAMILY ASSISTS THESE LOW-INCOME FAMILIES WITH A NUMBER OF ITEMS, ASSISTANCE AND SERVICES CUSTOMIZED TO FIT EACH FAMILYS UNIQUE NEEDS. OUR SERVICES NOT ONLY HELP THE KIN FAMILY BECOME LICENSED, BUT ALSO HELPS ENSURE THAT EACH FOSTER CHILD IS IN THE SAFEST ENVIRONMENT POSSIBLE.
