Foster Care

In partnership with DES, AzPaC, and its Partner Agencies, recruits, trains, and assesses family’s ability and readiness to become foster parents in Arizona. In addition, the partnership provides services to the family to support in their parenting efforts. AzPaC provides these services in Districts I (Maricopa County), II (Pima County), III (Coconino, Yavapai, Apache, and Navajo counties), IV (Mohave County), V (Pinal and Gila Counties) and VI (Cochise, Santa Cruz, Graham, and Greenlee counties).

In addition to the preparation of families to provide care for Arizona’s children, it assists in the placement of children in appropriate homes, provides supervision and support for that placement, provides respite care for children, and activities designed to retain families in the program.

Currently AzPaC has nearly 800 licensed foster homes to meet the needs of Child Protective Service in the state.

Adoption Services

AzPaC recruits, provides training, assesses, and certifies potential adoptive homes for the Department of Economic Security/Child Protective Service (DES/CPS). When families are ready for placement, we work with DES case managers to identify appropriate homes for children available for adoption and for ‘waiting’ children. AzPaC is proud of its partnership with DES/CPS in finding ‘forever homes’ for children who need them.
