Mockingbird Family Model is an innovative, evidence-based foster care delivery model that creates an extended family network to support, develop, and retain quality foster families so they can meet the challenging and complex needs of youth experiencing foster care. The model utilizes a “hub home” which supports a cluster of six to ten satellite foster homes – together this forms a “constellation”. The constellation structure forms a micro-community in which foster families can access peer mentoring and 24/7 respite care. Anticipated outcomes include increased placement stability and improved foster family retention.

The OCCF staff will manage the grant administration process and all grantmaking decisions will be made by OCCF Trustees. Learn more about the process.
