The Purpose of Our Transitional Housing Programs

Each year in California, a substantial amount of youth exit the foster care system when they turn 18 and are no longer eligible for foster care. These “emancipated foster youth” commonly leave the foster care system without a place to live, a job, a high school diploma or the consistent support of a caring adult.

Without assistance during this difficult transition, former foster youth do not fare well, experiencing rates of homelessness, unemployment, and incarceration far above their peers.
