Children aging out of foster care continue to be included as one of the most vulnerable populations in our community. These young adults are vulnerable to homelessness, unemployment, substance abuse, incarceration and dependence on public assistance. Research shows that 25-33% of children aging out of foster care are likely to be homeless within 3 years of leaving foster care.
Our Kids has an opportunity to improve these statistics through improved services which will prepare youth aging out of care to obtain self-sufficiency. Your donation will be directly used to enhance and increase the independent living services provided to youth aging out of foster care.
