Foster youth get better housing help
Fostering the Future Act
Good for everyday people ·
This bill would help young people leaving foster care get better housing by making federal programs work together more smoothly.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
This bill would make it easier for young people leaving foster care to find a place to live. It tries to fix problems between different government housing programs so they work better together. This is important because having a safe home helps these young people succeed as they become adults. If this bill passes, it could mean fewer young people from foster care end up without a home.
