Service area

The Emergency Foster Care provides wraparound services for Emergency Foster Care (EFC) homes when they take children in. While the EFC program is considered a temporary placement (approximately 30-60 days), the goal is to help stabilize children who have experienced inconsistent care. To that end, Shelter Inc provides two significant supports besides the child's case worker: a wraparound worker and a therapist dedicated to the EFC program.
