Are You A Foster Parent? Or...

• 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 everday practical needs: obtaining beds, dining room tables, groceries, and even fire extinguishers.

Glencoe Street Home

The Glencoe Street Home for Girls 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 Teens, Inc.

Morse Street Home

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. The Morse St. Home has given ODFT, Inc. the capability of housing up to sixteen (16) Teens in need of a stable environment to grow in and learn to live in the Community.

Coloma Street Home

In 1995, ODFT, Inc., through the FPSSP, purchased and provided the use of a home for a young couple to do Foster Care. They are able to care for 4 Teen girls. This doubled the capacity of Open Door for Teens, Inc. to a total of 10 beds for Teen girls.

For any of the perceived needs listed above, contact us and we will be happy to set up an appointment with you.

In Christ's Service for the Community,

Paul & Jill Keenon
