SHORT-TERM FOSTERING HOMES

Short-term foster carers play a vital role in the care system. They step in during times of uncertainty — from emergency situations to extended assessments — offering children stability while long-term plans are made.

But to do this well, carers and providers need homes that are more than just houses. They need:

​

  • Safe and welcoming spaces for children arriving under stressful circumstances

  • Flexible, well-located housing to support contact with birth families

  • Homes that adapt to different needs and lengths of stay

2. Location Matters

Short-term fostering often involves maintaining regular contact sessions with birth families, so location is key. We focus on sourcing homes that are:

​

  • Close to birth family locations (where possible)

  • Near community resources, transport, and healthcare

  • Within local authority boundaries or strategic placements

  • We’re responsive – quick to act, easy to communicate with

  • We take pressure off carers and providers – handling the property side entirely
