Youth Transitioning from Foster Care

Despite the remarkable abilities and promise exhibited by these young individuals, the absence of adequate support can give rise to unfavorable results. Statistical evidence indicates that young people who transition out of foster care confront an increased vulnerability to homelessness, demonstrate diminished likelihood of achieving educational milestones, and face elevated risks of falling victim to human trafficking and incarceration.
