Placement Agreements

A placement agreement is a commitment between the therapeutic foster parent and Catholic Community Service’s A Healthy Future Program. It delineates the responsibilities of all parties involved in the agreement and the amount of money to be exchanged for the services. It is a two-way agreement that supports both parties in caring for the needs of the child in care

Individuals or families taking on the responsibilities of a therapeutic foster parent will receive a stipend for the time worked as specified in the Therapeutic Foster Care Placement Agreement.  This agreement does not offer health insurance, workman’s compensation or other benefits commonly offered to salaried or hourly positions. This is not a contract employment position in the traditional sense; rather, it is a placement agreement.
