The Foster Youth to Independence Initiative creates a pathway forward for those aging out of the system.
The initiative works in conjunction with the Alabama Department of Human Resources to provide kids at least 18 years of age, or no more than 24 years old, with housing.
“This will give them an opportunity that otherwise they would not have,” Barber said, discussing a harsh reality many foster kids face after leaving the system.from Add Health, more than 23% of young people who age out of foster care will experience homelessness by age 21. “Really all they need is just someone to support them and believe in them,” Martin said, and that it should be a community effort.
