Youth timing out of the foster care system

To effectively support youth transitioning out of the foster care system at age 17, our program will focus on strategic initiatives aimed at enhancing stability, support, and successful outcomes.

Lack of Stable Housing: Many youth aging out of the foster care system face difficulties in securing stable housing. Without familial support or a reliable safety net, they are at a higher risk of experiencing homelessness shortly after leaving care.
Limited Access to Education and Employment Opportunities: Youth transitioning out of foster care often struggle to access educational and employment opportunities. Disruptions in their education and a lack of vocational training can hinder their ability to secure sustainable employment, impacting their financial independence.
Mental Health and Emotional Support Needs: These youth often face significant mental health and emotional challenges. The transition to independent living can exacerbate feelings of isolation and anxiety, making access to mental health services and emotional support crucial for their successful adjustment to adulthood.
