Benchmark provides strong and consistent support to our foster care families. We provide:
Each foster care family with weekly contact with their case manager, including a minimum of two home visits per month
24 hour/7 day a week emergency cell phone access to a case manager in the event of a crisis
Respite care for foster children when needed
Premium financial compensation to support the needs of youth placed in the home

Every two minutes, a child enters the foster care system.
Alone. Afraid. In need of a safe and loving home.

Some placements are temporary. Others are long-term. But all of them matter—and all of them need someone willing to say yes.

Right now, thousands of children are waiting.
Waiting for stability. Waiting for comfort. Waiting for someone like you.

We need foster parents. We need families.
We need people ready to step up, open their hearts, and make a life-changing difference.

Don’t wait. Be the reason a child feels safe again. Be the reason they believe in love again.

Start the journey today!
