Sq. Feet???

February 25, 2009

Does anyone know how many square ft. per child you need in the bedroom to determine how many foster children you can have ?

I'm in IL.

Last time I checked, it depended on the state. Some have a specific number, some do not.

I don't recall what it is - but they do define a number and we had one room that I thought was fairly small that would fit 2 kids - the other room, slightly larger, would fit 3.

We were licensed for 4 - we had a bio-son in the room for 2.

Bunk beds were ok in our county as well.

In Indiana, it is 50 sq. feet for each child, with rooms no less than 100 sq feet to start with.

We are starting out PRIDE training next week and I can't believe we can not have bunk beds in the house. I ask if a FC could sleep on the bottom and my Bio-kids on top and you can't even have them in the house.

It is ashame because that limits us to only taking one child.
