Catholic Family Center specializes in foster care services for youth from around the world up to age 21 whose lives have been torn apart by war and oppression. The youth, arriving in the United States with no identified family or support, have been exposed to chronic trauma and stress which may include exposure to violence, loss of family and loved ones, deprivation, abuse and neglect, and displacement from their homes. The program works to help them resolve the impact of this trauma, develop Independent Living and academic skills and provide ongoing support to their foster families to assist them to build a strong family unit.
Refugee Resettlement
unaccompanied refugee youth were served by generous foster families during 2019. 100% of those leaving foster care had a clear transition plan to safety and stability.
Informational meetings will be conducted via Zoom!

Referred youth must be under 18 years of age at time of entrance into our program. Youth must be accepted for foster care services by Monroe County Department for Human Services (MCDHS) for placement with Catholic Family Center. Youth must comply with all foster care regulations in order to maintain their eligibility.
Referrals for youth come through the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops and the Office of Refugee Resettlement Services. The program does not take any referrals directly.
There is no cost for the program.
