Parents voluntarily have their children live with a host family because of any number of challenges they are facing, such as: Sudden unemployment or loss of housing Financial difficulties Postpartum depression Acute illness or hospitalization Financial instability Domestic violence Drug or alcohol addiction Incarceration of one parent Bethany staff work with the parents during this transition to identify steps to regain stability and be reunited with their children quickly and safely. Because Safe Families for Children is not foster care, the children are not placed in the care of the State. Parents Remain Involved: Parents are actively involved in their children's lives and will develop a relationship with the host family. This temporary care for children in need gives parents time to establish stability in their homes. The goal of the SFFC ministry is to offer support in a time of need and reunite children with their families in a stronger home environment. Through SFFC, host families receive no compensation for caring for children, and parents voluntarily have their children stay with them. In foster care, children are placed into homes through the courts and foster families receive compensation for their care.
