Celebrate Love: Become a Foster Parent for an Oregon Teen
Love has the power to open doors, and support can build bridges to brighter futures. Through foster parenting with RISE Services, Inc. Oregon, you can become that source of hope for teens with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). As a Host Home caregiver, you can offer more than shelter; you have a chance to cultivate a safe space of belonging and acceptance, making a powerful and lasting difference every day.
Why Become a Host Home Foster Parent?
Choosing to foster through RISE Services, Inc. Oregon means opening your home to teens with IDD who are seeking a stable, caring living environment. Foster parents, called Host Home providers, come from all backgrounds and walks of life. What matters most is a genuine desire to support youth in building positive relationships, accessing supports, and reaching personal goals.
Making a Real Difference
A Host Home offers youth a safe, inclusive residential home environment where their individuality is respected. At the same time, foster parents experience the joy of helping a teen build healthy family connections.
As part of our mission at RISE Services, Inc. Oregon, we emphasize thoughtful, long-term placements, ensuring that each match is based on compatibility between the individual and the Host Home caregiver. This approach helps facilitate lasting support, stability, and mutual growth.
