ABOUT FIVE ACRES' PERMANENCY PROGRAM

Finding Families - Family Finding is a key component to Five Acres' Permanency Initiative, which is designed to establish a lasting connection for every child in its care. Using newly available technologies, Family Finding involves searching, locating, screening and engaging children's family members in their lives.

Foster Care - Five Acres is an all inclusive agency with open arms to qualified people without discrimination of age, gender, gender expression, sexual orientation, gender identity, religion or ancestry. We recruit, train and certify foster families who have opened their homes and hearts to children.
