Westmorland and Furness Council says families from all walks of life are welcome to apply.
The Regional Fostering Recruitment and Retention Hub has been designed to make it easier for those wishing to become a foster carer in Cumbria and Lancashire.
Cumberland councillor Emma Williamson said the hub would provide "unified support" for anyone considering fostering. The five local authorities have created Foster With Us, which will be based at the hub and acts as a first point of contact for those wishing to become a foster carer. Across the five local authorities there are 152 children waiting for foster homes, including 19 sibling groups who do not wish to be separated.
