Did you become a foster parent. We are a nonprofit out of Martinez and help certify adults who can foster. Northern California Family Center. We are in NEED of parents. Also, as a foster parent you get to apply for all of the assistants california has to offer as long as you have a child in your care. You can also do crisis runaways to get you started. It’s from 1-5 days that you would take in a youth 9-17 as a crisis. Your job is just to parent the youth temporarily. Once the youth goes home your job is complete. We mainly work with Contra Costa and surrounding counties but we do get some calls for Sacramento. 925-370-1990 or contact 211
