What financial support does TLC provide to foster parents?
Foster parents receive a monthly payment of $760 for all ages. Medical and dental expenses are covered by Medi-Cal. Each child is provided with therapy as needed. We regard our parents as part of a team of professionals, gay or straight, willing to provide the child with a safe, healthy and stable home environment. You may be single or married, with or without your own children and rent or own your home. TLC parents need to show that they are healthy enough to care for children, and there is adequate bed space, among other requirements. Our most successful parents are flexible, committed, have a non-judgmental attitude, and a good sense of humor!
