Founded in 1973 in Staunton, Virginia, People Places was instrumental in establishing and shaping Treatment Foster Care (TFC) locally and nationwide. People Places is a private, nonprofit agency serving Staunton, Charlottesville, Harrisonburg, and the surrounding areas. We provide a comprehensive array of foster care, adoption, and community-based services. Trauma-informed research has proven that meaningful relationships make all the difference to children in need. People Places has 50 years of experience connecting to individuals and couples who are willing to become certified as foster parents. Reunification with birth parents and kin is always the primary goal for children in foster care. However, when this is not possible, foster to adoptive homes are necessary to provide long-term permanency for children. We are dedicated to providing high quality, relationship based services and support to all that we serve. Trauma-informed care is emphasized throughout the agency. People Places is accredited by the Council on Accreditation (COA), and takes great pride in maintaining the highest quality of services.
