This network of host families help parents who need to temporarily place their children due to unmanageable or critical circumstances. A host family provides a loving sanctuary and serves out of a sense of compassion and love. Safe Families is not foster care or adoption. Parents voluntarily place their children with the host family. Children who are hosted are not believed to be victims of abuse and neglect.
