Dudly Decoste
I joined His House Children’s Home February 2020 as the new Licensing Manager. I earned a bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice from Florida International University and earned a graduate degree in social work from Barry University.
I have worked in the child welfare system for over 16 years starting my career as a case manager and moving up managing other case managers transitioning into the nonprofit sector. There I learned to have a greater understanding of the socio-judicial and educational needs and challenges faced by our biological parents.
This has given me a greater sense of appreciation for them and our foster parents who take on the incredible role of loving children in foster care by opening their homes and their hearts. My team and I at His House are all about serving our children and those very special individuals and families that care for them. From providing step by step guidance through the licensing process to providing support through the good times and challenging times, we are here for you. Please consider becoming a foster parent and changing the life of a child.
I have been very grateful to work with a strong and courageous organization that cares deeply about our families.

Before making the transition into the childcare system, I graduated from the University of South Florida and decided to become a Case Manager after graduating in 2020.
My experience working as a Case Manager for Miami-Dade County for approximately 1 year and a half, I then made the transition in becoming a Licensing Specialist. The best part of working in this system of care, is having the support of different resources and being able to learn from every one that I come in contact with.
