ABOUT PLACEMENT
Seneca's Placement Programs operate with a core belief that every child deserves a family. Families are recruited, trained, and certified to provide permanency and safety for children of all ages who are not able to remain with their family of origin. Some are impacted by behavioral, emotional, developmental, or medical challenges and many have experienced trauma and loss. The program provides youth and children with the safety, stability, and support of a nurturing and trauma-informed family. Placement will match approved families with children who need homes and provide children who need homes and provide children and families ongoing support and resources.
