Hamilton Child and Family Supports, like other children’s aid societies in Ontario, urgently needs foster caregivers. The need for caregivers who can provide temporary homes for children and youth, when they cannot stay with their primary caregivers or with kin has never been higher. With a staggering 33.6% decrease in available foster homes since 2020, the safety and well-being of children, youth, and families is at risk. The Ontario Association of Children’s Aid Societies (OACAS) has released the provincial ‘There to Care’ Campaign which aims to dispel misconceptions and rally community support to address the critical shortage of foster homes across Ontario.
