Foster families need families too.
Partner Homes surrounds foster, adoptive, and kinship families with practical resources, meaningful relationships, and Christ-centered encouragement so they do not have to navigate the foster care journey alone.
Fostering can be both beautiful and exhausting.
Caring for a child through foster care, adoption, or relative placement often brings unexpected needs, difficult seasons, and responsibilities that are hard to carry without support.
Raleigh’s Place created Partner Homes to help families keep saying yes by surrounding them with practical help, community, encouragement, and resources for the journey.
Practical help. Real relationships.
Partner Homes is designed to respond to both everyday needs and the deeper need for community among families connected to foster care.
Food & Pantry Support
Families can access food and pantry resources when practical needs arise.
Clothing & Essentials
Clothing, household items, and other practical resources help families respond quickly when a child enters their home.
Foster Parent Night Out
Periodic events give parents time to rest, reconnect, or simply enjoy an evening while their children are cared for.
Small Groups & Community
Foster, adoptive, and kinship parents can build relationships with others who understand the unique joys and challenges of the journey.
Training & Encouragement
Training opportunities and parenting resources help families grow in confidence while meeting continuing education needs.
Birthdays & Holidays
Special celebrations help children and families experience joy, dignity, and thoughtful care during meaningful moments throughout the year.
Support works best when it becomes relationship.
A box of food can meet an immediate need. A night of childcare can provide needed rest. Training can build confidence.
But families also need people who understand the journey and are willing to walk with them over time.
That is why Partner Homes is not simply a resource program. It is an effort to build a community around foster, adoptive, and kinship families so they feel supported, encouraged, and connected.
Our goal is simple:
Help families remain healthy, supported, and equipped so children can experience greater stability and belonging.
Support for families connected to foster care.
Licensed Foster Families
Families currently providing foster care through the Alabama Department of Human Resources.
Adoptive Families
Families who have adopted children and continue to benefit from support, community, and practical resources.
Relative & Kinship Placements
Relatives and kinship caregivers stepping in to provide stability and care for children within their extended family or community.
Strengthening families strengthens children.
Raleigh’s Place believes children thrive when the adults caring for them are supported, encouraged, and surrounded by healthy community.
Through Partner Homes, we seek to demonstrate the love of Christ in practical ways while helping families continue the difficult and important work of caring for children.
“Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.”
Let us come alongside your family.
If your family is fostering, has adopted, or is caring for a child through a relative or kinship placement, we would love to learn more about your family and help you get connected.
