Now Licensed in KENtUCKY AND West Virginia!
Fostering. Healthier. Community.
More than 30,000 children in out-of-home care across West Virginia, Kentucky, and Ohio are waiting for a dependable, loving family to provide the care, safety and stability they need.
Could your family be the one they’re waiting for?
OVP FAMILY, a division of OVP HEALTH, was created in late 2024 to address this need by providing children and families with quality foster care and independent living services, as well as an unprecedented level of “wraparound” care.
OVP FAMILY recently received licensure from the Kentucky Cabinet for Health and Family Services to provide foster care, adoption, and independent living services for children and youth in the Bluegrass State. So, similar to West Virginia, we’re now recruiting, training, and certifying foster parents in Kentucky, and we’re making progress on securing licensure from the state of Ohio.
If you’re interested in learning more about becoming a foster parent, we invite you to explore these web pages, and to contact us, so we can reach out to you.
