Foster Homes in Short Supply | Winston–Salem News

Forsyth County’s foster care system is in crisis, with just fifteen licensed homes left to care for hundreds of children—forcing many into distant placements and even sleeping in DSS offices. The shortage isn’t due to lack of compassion, but because loving foster parents often adopt the kids they care for, leaving fewer options for others. The impact? Kids face trauma, school disruptions, and medical instability. Urgent needs include sibling groups, teens, and medically fragile children. Officials are racing to recruit more foster families to keep kids safe and stable. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
