The Greater Houston Permanency Collaborative (GHPC) is BEAR’s newest program, dedicated to providing resources and services to support foster and adoptive families, including both pre and post-permanency. By connecting child welfare professionals, child placing agencies, non-profit organizations providing resources to foster families, (DFPS) Department of Family & Protective Services workers, and other local partners, the GHPC works to remove obstacles to adoption and provide essential resources and support to ensure lasting permanency for youth and families.
