Board of Supervisors recognize May as National Foster Care Month

The County of San Luis Obispo Board of Supervisors held a meeting on May 1, 2026, to recognize May as National Foster Care Month. The meeting focused on raising awareness about the foster care system, highlighting the need for more resource families to provide stable homes for over 200 children in foster care within the county. The Department of Social Services emphasized the urgent gap between the number of children needing placement and the availability of community-based homes.
