Home Assessment Program
Who We Are
The Pathways Family Services Home Assessment Program has been complementing the Foster Care program since 2008. Upholding our mission to provide safety, stability and family belonging conducting an evaluation on prospective parents and guardians is an important first step.
What We Do
Working in partnership with the Government of Alberta and Community Stakeholders, the program will conduct an evaluation on applicants who are required to have a Home Study Report (HSR). The HSR will provide a recommendation on the applicant family’s willingness, readiness, and ability to effectively parent. Pathways follows the provincially sanctioned home study model, Structured Analysis Family Evaluation (SAFE) from the Consortium for Children but can adapt to any specific jurisdictional needs.
Our Services
Pathways is proficient in completing timely, well written reports and are able to adapt to the unique needs of the applicant family and referral source including cultural and spiritual sensitivity.

Additional Reports
