Future of youth: City council discusses foster children and subsidies!
On Monday, November 10th at 4 p.m., the city council's youth committee will meet for a meeting that will be interesting for many in the large meeting room of the New Town Hall, Luitpoldplatz 13. The aim of this meeting is to discuss and decide on important issues relating to youth in Bayreuth. How bayreuth.de reported, there are several agenda items on the agenda, including changing the guidelines for foster care and discussing the city's grants to clubs and associations that are committed to youth. This is done with a view to the budget for 2026.
A special highlight awaits those present with the presentation of the work of the Bayreuth Family Alliance, presented by social officer Manuela Brozat, who has been active in this area for an impressive 20 years. In addition, the development of help for parenting in the inpatient area is discussed, which is of great relevance for many of those involved.
Support for foster families
Another key topic addressed during the meeting is supporting foster parents. They are an important support in the system and often need advice and help in various life situations. The youth welfare office plays a key role in this by offering advice and support to foster parents before and during foster care, as shown on familienportal.de is to be read.
It is important for many foster parents to know that they usually have to conclude a written foster care contract with the youth welfare office. This creates clarity and security for everyone involved. Another point that benefits foster parents is the monthly care allowance paid by the youth welfare office. This money covers basic costs such as food, accommodation and clothing and is tax-free. Foster parents can also apply for financial support for children in need of care who are up to 27 years old and have special needs.
Health and insurance coverage
Another issue that should not be neglected is the health care of foster children. These usually have health insurance either through their foster parents or are included in a family insurance policy. In addition, foster parents can also claim child benefit under certain conditions. This offers them some financial relief.
The Youth Committee meeting will not only address current topics, but will also shed light on the important framework conditions for functioning support for foster families. It remains to be seen what specific decisions will be made and what new impetus will be given to promoting youth in Bayreuth.
