Foster Parents (Dallas)

PCHAS announces a great opportunity for a family to provide foster care services for four or more youth in a beautiful home located in Dallas, Texas.

Following are the details of the agreement that would be implemented by PCHAS and their foster care providers:

  • PCHAS seeks to lease its home in Dallas to a licensed foster family serving children through its foster care program. The licensed foster family will need to become a licensed foster family with PCHAS.
  • The home is located adjacent to Juliette Fowler Homes, Inc. Juliette Fowler Homes is in collaboration with PCHAS and is located at 1234 Abrams Road, Dallas.
  • The home has 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a kitchen, a family room, a dining room, an office, and 1 laundry room.
  • The home has a fenced backyard and backs up against the Juliette Fowler campus.
  • The majority of the house will need to be furnished by the renter.

PCHAS would lease the home using a typical Texas residential lease and include the following provisions:

  • The tenant must be or become an active PCHAS licensed foster family serving (or ready, willing, and able to serve) 4-6 children throughout the term of the lease.
  • Monthly rent has yet to be determined, but will likely be $700.
  • The security deposit has yet to be determined, but will likely be $500- $700.
  • Tenant Foster Family will pay for all utilities. PCHAS will maintain electrical, gas, water, wastewater, and garbage service for the home, but the tenant will fully reimburse PCHAS for the actual cost of the services.
  • The tenant will be fully responsible for all other utilities such as telephone, alarm monitoring systems, cable, and Internet connections.
  • PCHAS will provide yard maintenance. The tenant must water the yard and provide daily maintenance for the backyard water garden.
  • PCHAS will make repairs as provided in a typical lease. Tenant must pay for any damage to the property beyond normal wear.
  • The primary term of the lease will likely be 3-6 months and then automatically renew on a month-to-month basis unless either PCHAS or the tenant gives at least 30 days written notice of termination.
