In 2019, Florida moved to a system of foster home licensing that consisted of five distinct levels:
- Level I: Child-Specific Foster Home
- Level II: Non-Child Specific Foster Home
- Level III: Safe Foster Home For Victims Of Human Trafficking
- Level IV: Therapeutic Foster Home
- Level V: Medical Foster Home
Previously “Traditional” foster homes are now Level II.
