Safe Families

Safe Families for Children, founded in 2003 in Chicago, engages families through faith communities to provide temporary care for vulnerable children, with a mission to keep families intact and reduce the need for foster care. With over 1,200 host families currently caring for more than 1,000 children annually, the organization has successfully placed nearly 7,000 children into host homes, primarily focusing on children under the age of six.

Through community support and various training programs, Safe Families aims to connect individuals willing to offer hospitality to families in crisis. Their efforts are largely supported by referrals from local agencies, including the Department of Children and Family Services, schools, and law enforcement, showcasing a collaborative approach to child welfare.
