Foster Parents Make a Difference
Ramsey County Community Human Services licenses, monitors and supports foster homes to be used by Ramsey County children in need of placement. The children in foster care are ethnically diverse and come from all areas of the county. Our most frequent need is homes for teenagers and sibling groups.
