A family assessment is one part of the licensing study process. The family must meet the requirements in NDAC 75-03-14, “Family Foster Care Homes,” which is the licensing administrative rules with the force of law. The CFS Licensing Unit requires a licensing specialist to complete an assessment incorporating tools and methods available in the pre-service curriculum.

 

This assessment engages the prospective foster care provider in a process to determine whether fostering is right for them and for the agency.

 

The home study process will provide the opportunity for the agency to be more knowledgeable about the attitudes and skills of the foster care provider/s, and to make better placement decisions for children.
