The struggle to help LGBTQ foster youth aging-out of the system with housing continues in Sacramento  


The Fostering Connections to Success Act was designed to help aged-out foster children in need of housing for up to three years. Foster children can choose whether they want to continue living with their foster parents, another guardian or transition into an apartment or college dorm. There’s a group of twelve specialized social workers who work closely with foster care youth to create Transitional Independent Living Plans, which help these aged-out youths transition into housing.
