Services - Foster Parent Supplemental Support Program - Getting Foster Parents What They Need

• Are planning on becoming a Foster Parent?
• Want guidance through the licensing system?
• Are a Foster Parent in need? Of furniture, training, or respite care?

Then the Foster Parent Supplemental Support Program is set up to help you. Just contact us and make your needs known. (If you are already a Foster Parent, we may need to see your license.)

Years ago, the Directors of ODFT perceived this vital need from personal experience and set up the Foster Parent Supplemental Support Program to provide needed time for foster parents to rejuvenate frazzled nerves, receive needed training and to help with everyday practical needs: obtaining beds, dining room tables, groceries, and even fire extinguishers.

The Glencoe Street Transitional Home was ODFT's first home and continues to be in vibrant use. Paul and Jill Keenon are the Foster Parents in charge of the Glencoe St. Home for girls and, as you probably know by now, are the Founders of Open Door for Teen's, Inc.

In the year 2000, ODFT again purchased, through the FPSSP, a new home to house Teen Boys. The Foster Parents living in this home can care for up to six (6) boys.
