Refugee foster care includes a comprehensive set of services and financial supports, designed to assist with a youth’s resettlement adjustment, provide for a youth while obtaining an education, and prepare each youth for eventual independence. These services are specially geared towards the needs of refugee youth, with a focus on acculturation and integration. More specifically, these services include: indirect financial support providing for housing, food, clothing, and other necessities; schooling and educational supports; health, mental health and legal services; intensive case management; cultural and recreation activities; mentoring and life skills training; etc.
