Definition
The placement of youth in foster care occurs when children and youth can no longer safely remain in their own homes due to the risk of abuse or neglect, or due to behaviors which may result in danger to themselves or others. Youth in foster care are placed with foster families that provide 24-hour care until reunification or other permanent placement is established.
