• Foster Care – Keeping kids safe, supported and loved
  All children deserve homes where they feel safe and loved. We work to ensure that neglected, abused, parentless and other at-risk children are surrounded by loving families. Our LCS Northwest foster programs recruit, license and support foster children and parents. Our goal is to help provide stable homes for youth who cannot live with their families through two different programs:
  
  
• Unaccompanied Refugee Minor Foster Care
  
  
  
• Victim Advocacy and Education – Helping crime victims and loved ones regain their personal power.
  If you or someone you know has experienced sexual violence or other trauma, we are here for you. Survivors are believed, supported, and connected to services that promote healing and safety. We strive to reduce the impacts of violence on the survivor and on our community. As Spokane’s only accredited Community Sexual Assault Program and lead Crime Victim Service Center, we provide education and medical, legal, and general
  advocacy services free of charge to anyone who identifies as a crime victim.
