Everything we do is at the behest of the young adults and parents who have navigated the child welfare system - and based on the hundreds of years of research on community, family, and housing. Together we have re-written federal housing law to make it possible for young people who reach adulthood under the care and custody of the public child welfare system to access extended foster care. When they are housing ready, they can now synchronize access to a Housing Choice Voucher “on demand” to facilitate their journey to economic independence. The phenomenon is universal - but to make sure every youth can benefit, we need you to help us spread the word and and change the hearts and minds of the professionals charged with their well-being. No one should be talking to a foster youth about homelessness. They are not homeless, they are in foster care and on their way home. Whether that be back to their family or to a home of their own. But they are going home - not to the street, not with the advent of the “Foster Youth to Independence Initiative.” Thank you for visiting our website to learn more.
