FOSTER CARE? LOS ANGELES CHILDRENS BUREAU

CHILDRENS BUREAU - LOS ANGELES COUNTY

In Los Angeles County more than 2,000 foster children turn 18 and leave foster care without an adoptive family. Over a third of these emancipated teens end up homeless or incarcerated during the first two years of living on their own and without the support of a family. Young adults may now remain in foster care until age 21 if desired. They may also access subsidized housing and tuition at a California college year around.


(We think they mean each year!)
