Casey Family Programs' San Diego field office has supported this largely urban county of 3 million people since 1993.

Most of the children we serve live with foster families. Others are in the care of relatives, in what is known as kinship care.

Become a foster parent!
We are currently recruiting foster parents interested in caring for youth, ages 11–18. To learn more please contact our family developer at (619) 543-0774, extension 31218.

Our goal is to attract foster families made up of caring adults who are committed to being a “permanency partner” – someone who is willing to be a part of the team that will find permanent solutions for our youth – whether this happens through reunification with birth families, guardianship, or even adoption. Foster parents also assist youth in connecting with other important people in their lives, such as extended family members and mentors.

Our emphasis on permanent families is a key part of Casey Family Programs' 2020 Strategy, which seeks to safely reduce by 50 percent the number of children in foster care by the year 2020.
