UPDATED CERTIFIED FAMILY HOME RULES

Idaho Administrative Procedures Act (IDAPA) 16, Title 03, Chapter 19, “Rules Governing Certified Family Homes,” was recently updated. Regional certifying agents throughout the state are now surveying to the new regulations. The Department encourages each certified family home provider to thoroughly read and routinely review the revised chapter of rules.

Providers offering the best care and safest environments evaluate their home’s compliance with program rules on an ongoing basis, adjusting their operation in accordance with the rules as necessary. To aid compliance with the new rules across the industry, the Department has developed new forms that, if used properly, will ensure compliance with the updated rules. These forms are available on this webpage.

Questions may be directed to the certifying agent(s) in the region where the home is located. Contact information is found at the bottom of
this webpage.
