What is the Foster One Program?

The Foster One Program is a short-term treatment program based on the Treatment Foster Care Program (TFCO) that gives a child the opportunity to grow and learn positive behavior techniques in a home environment instead of a residential facility or group home. The treatment team, which includes Foster One foster parents, work together to deliver consistent expectations, structure, and guidance as well as patience and kindness. Foster One is evidence-based with proven positive outcomes.

Virtual information sessions are being held on the first Tuesday of the month at noon and 6:00 pm.

Foster One is an innovative foster care program in the Greater Capital Region designed for children and teens who need extra support as they grow and thrive. It’s a unique opportunity for people who want to make a lasting, positive impact in a child’s life by providing a temporary, stable and supportive home environment. Foster One is based on the Treatment Foster Care Oregon (TFCO) model. With the right foster parents, children in this program receive specialized care within a family setting, helping them build skills and confidence as they transition back to their biological families.
