The NEED

In North Dakota, there are approximately 1,500 children in foster care on any given day. In the Burleigh County Human Service Zone, there are approximately 200 youth in foster care and only about 88 licensed foster homes to provide the safe and stable temporary care needed for these kids. The current annual trend is for every ten homes that are recruited and licensed, nine are lost or discontinued. 


*The house pictured is part of a preliminary plan for the homes at Haven Hills.

Recruiting and retaining foster parents is a challenge:

  • Foster youth often have many challenges and need additional services that can be daunting to navigate.
  • It can be difficult for foster families to receive support since there are only a small group of people who understand the peaks and valleys of foster care.
  • Recruiting new foster families is important, but research has shown the retaining of foster parents to be one of the single most powerful ways to dramatically improve the quality of healing for kids in care. This is due to the knowledge that can come from numerous years of experience and education as foster parents.


Haven Hills will provide the support, encouragement, and environment necessary to attract new and retain existing, experienced foster families.
