About NH DCYF Foster Care Program
New Hampshire’s Foster Care Program serves children and youth who cannot safely remain at home, providing temporary care, stability, and support while families work toward reunification or other permanent options. Across the state, there is a critical need for foster and adoptive homes—especially for teens and youth involved in the juvenile justice system, who often face greater challenges in finding stable, supportive placements. Our goal is to expand the network of caring adults and families who can step in to support these young people. This includes not only foster and adoptive homes, but also mentors and visiting resources who can build meaningful, lasting connections with teens. By partnering with communities across New Hampshire, we aim to raise awareness, strengthen local connections, and ensure that every young person has access to supportive relationships and opportunities to thrive. We invite you to join us in this effort and help create a stronger, more responsive network of care for youth across the state.
