With property prices rising far faster than average wages — and many lenders still refusing to count foster care income in mortgage applications — owning a home has become an unrealistic goal for many dedicated foster carers.
But here’s the good news: You don’t need to own a home to make a difference.
Across the UK, more and more foster carers and children’s care providers are choosing to rent high-quality homes that meet the needs of the young people they support. In fact, renting has become essential in enabling carers to offer safe, stable environments without the financial pressure of homeownership.
