Every Year, thousands of young adults age out of foster care without any familial or support network, leaving them with poor life prospects. Once they reach the age of majority, they are considered adults and receive limited personal or financial assistance from foster parents or the government. Studies conducted nationwide reveal high levels of homelessness, substance use, mental health complexities, human trafficking, limited access to healthcare and additional challenges among former foster youth.
