We also offer a transitional housing plus foster care program that provides young people an opportunity to gain the education, life skills, and employment experience to successfully transition to adulthood and community life.

Walden Family Services is contracted by the County of San Diego and licensed by the California Department of Social Services Community Licensing Division.

Foster Family Agencies (FFAs) are private, non-profit charitable organizations who partner with Child Welfare Services of San Diego County to find loving homes for children placed in foster care. Each FFA is unique in the age range of children they serve and the supportive services they provide and families are encouraged to research and speak with several different FFAs in order to find the best fit.
