Current AFH Provider Resources
Current licensed AFH providers may benefit from these helpful resources:
- Adult Protective Services
- Aging and Persons with Disabilities (APD) Provider Tools
- The general information below is meant to help you succeed as a licensed adult foster home provider. Visit the Oregon Department of Human Services APD Adult Foster Home Provider Information page.
- Vacancy Reporting
- Call 503-304-3454 or FAX 503-304-3465 every week to update your listing. Give us your name (not AFH name), number of vacancies, whether room is single or shared, and whether vacancy is for a female, male, or either.

- Resident Manager Changes
- What do I need to do to hire a new resident manager? Once you are sure you want the person for the job, contact adult foster home licensing staff by phone: 503.304.3400 or by email: AFH.Licensing@nwsds.org for information on requirements and application forms.
- Renewing Your License
- Did you get a notice that your license is about to expire? We will send you a renewal application packet with the necessary instructions and forms several weeks before your license expires. You are required to ensure your application materials are completed and turned in before your license expiration date.

- PREPARE your home for inspection.
