Cost of Living Survey for Foster Families

Last month, Statistics Canada reported that Canada’s inflation rate (5.7%) is at its highest since August of 1991. As the price of everything from gas to groceries continue to rise, BCFPA would like to know how the swift rise in consumer costs is impacting foster families.

We will be sharing the summary data with the Ministry of Children and Family Development to advocate for more financial support for foster families. Your responses will help us understand the supports that you as caregivers need to provide for children and youth.

Participation in this survey is optional. The survey will be closed on April 25, 2022.

All responses will be completely anonymous and confidential.
