How do I take a foster home off inactive status?

• A. Make a supervisory contact in the home prior to placing a child in the home
• B. Document that the home is complying with all applicable rules of this chapter
• C. Ensure that the home is in compliance with all background check requirements
• D. All of the above

Answer: (D)

Removing inactive status requires showing that all regulatory conditions are met before reactivating a foster home. Each element addresses a separate safety and compliance area: having a supervisory contact in the home before placing a child ensures ongoing oversight; documenting that the home complies with all applicable rules demonstrates adherence to licensing standards; and making sure the home meets all background check requirements protects children by ensuring everyone in the home has current, appropriate clearances. Because reactivation hinges on meeting every one of these requirements, the option that combines all of them stands as the best choice.
