Children are referred to CCR from counties across Wisconsin when there is no available home in a county agency that will meet a child or sibling group's needs. Many children, of all ages, are in need of treatment services that will address a variety of trauma histories.

CCR foster parents can reside in any county, be single, married, LGBT, retired, or working with a flexible schedule. We welcome everyone to explore how to become a foster parent with us.
