What We Do

At REAL PEOPLE Foster and Family Services, we believe every child deserves a safe, nurturing home where they feel a sense of belonging. We support children and youth in foster care by providing foster parents with the training, practical strategies and ongoing support they need to create environments built on safety, trust, connection and care.

As a small, dedicated agency, we provide personalized, responsive care you can rely on. When you call, you reach a real person—or we return your call with the attention and respect you deserve.

Why Become a Foster Parent?

Because every child deserves a safe, caring home. And every foster parent deserves to be seen, supported, and empowered to make a lasting difference.

When you foster with Real People, you’re never doing it alone.

  • "We are very thankful for our transition to Real People and working with you. As scary as the process appeared from the other side, we couldn’t be more pleased with how smooth and comfortable it has been. You have been true to every word and beyond! Besides all of your dedication to making it a positive experience, through it all we can clearly see how you truly care for us and for the children we care for."

    — Sandra, Foster Parent

  • Real People is the first and only agency I've been fostering with since 2022. Working with Ray & Real People has been an incredibly positive and meaningful experience. From the very beginning, the team demonstrated professionalism, compassion, and a genuine commitment to the well being of both foster parents and children.

    — Svetlana, Foster Parent
