● 95% of our members in L.A. have experienced housing insecurity or homelessness;
● 25% are actively housing insecure and
● 20% are currently in extended foster care;
● Many face a housing cliff as they age out of child welfare services.
At this critical point in time, the class action lawsuit against the State of California and LA County is an important tool to try and remedy these inequities. As it goes forward, the thinking and action of all parties must be directed to the urgent need for solutions now.
The National Foster Youth Institute is a youth development organization that lifts up foster youth voices to transform the child welfare system.
