F.O.S.T.E.R. of Dane County
(Families Overcoming Struggles To Encourage Restoration)
Helping marginalized families in the Madison/Dane County community since 2003.
Who We Are
F.O.S.T.E.R. (Families Overcoming Struggles To Encourage Restoration) is a wraparound case management program which seeks to address the needs of families, single-parent households, those at risk of involvement in the foster care system, and/or parent(s) of those who have been incarcerated.
What We Do
FOSTER provides a variety of community services including: food, clothing, help with essential household items, and in some cases medication copays and transportation costs. We also sometimes assist with rent, security deposits, utilities, and other needs on a case by case basis to ensure the families in our community have their basic needs met.
Covid 19 Rental Support Relief Efforts

Receive support with rental arrears, forward rent and utilities. We provide application assistance!
