North Carolina nonprofit builds free homes for licensed foster families

A North Carolina nonprofit is building free homes for foster families aimed at keeping large sibling groups together and in their own home communities.

"It's very, very difficult to find a family that's got the capacity to take two, certainly three, children," Williams, who's worked in foster care for a decade, said. 

In many cases, sibling groups are ultimately separated and sent across the country, "hardly ever seeing each other," Williams said, adding that it only "compounds the trauma they go through."  

Williams estimated that close to 50% of the roughly 20,000 children who are in foster care in the state are placed outside their county.
