EXTRA accommodation and support arrangements for some of Victoria's most vulnerable children will be funded in Tuesday's state budget.
An extra $91 million will go towards out-of-home care places and more support for children with disabilities or challenging behaviours.
Out-of-home care includes care from an accredited foster carer or a relative, or placement in a residential unit run by a community organisation.
Community Services Minister Mary Wooldridge says the funding will double the number of therapeutic foster care places to 180.
"The additional funding will substantially reduce the need for contingency or temporary placements that are very costly and see some of our most vulnerable children residing with temporary carers in motels or caravan parks," she said on Thursday.
"This enables us to continue our transition to rehabilitative models of care where carers receive specific, targeted support to help their foster children improve their emotional and educational stability and developmental outcomes."
Last year, more than 9000 abused and neglected Victorian children were unable to live with their parents and needed out-of-home care.
