Mission: Our mission here at Krista is to find and equip safe, loving homes in which hurting, wounded children and young adults can begin to heal and understand and accept their God given worth, and destiny. Krista purposes to provide quality, safe, and loving foster parents who demonstrate God’s love to the children entrusted in their care. Our hope for these children is a developed relationship with God, emotional and spiritual healing, healthy relationships, and the ability to function with success in their community
Geographic areas served: Shasta County
Programs: Krista Foster Homes is committed to excellence by certifying families with the skills, values, and motivation to provide quality care to children when an out-of-home placement becomes necessary. Krista foster families help meet the comprehensive needs of children in foster care through committed, nurturing, family home settings. Our ultimate goal is for these children or youth to establish permanent life-long family relationships either with their natural families or permanent foster/adoptive families. Our Social Work staff provides training and support to the foster families, social services to the children, and services to the natural families of the children when appropriate. Krista Foster Homes is therapeutic in nature. Treatment provision is a cooperative effort among administrators, social workers, foster parents, placing workers, the child and when possible his/her natural family. Krista’s staff is committed to training and providing ongoing consultation and services to foster families. They also work to ensure that the children’s needs are met and that they have as normal a childhood as possible. Krista Foster Homes creates a supportive, therapeutic milieu providing social, educational, and recreational activities for our foster families on a regular basis. Krista foster parents also have access to the agency library and peer support.
