Each year, over 15,000 young people age out of foster care without the support they need to thrive. Today, Congress took a monumental step to change that.
The U.S. House of Representatives passed the Fostering the Future Act (H.R. 7432) — a bipartisan legislative package that modernizes the John H. Chafee Foster Care Program for Successful Transition to Adulthood.
CSSP and the CARES Initiative applaud Bipartisan Congressional leadership, and thank , , and for their partnership – and join them all in celebrating today’s passage.
As Alexandra Citrin, our Director of Family Autonomy and Child Welfare Policy, said:
“When policymakers listen to young people, advocates, and organizations devoted to implementing research-backed solutions, then common sense policy can reach and transform the lives of young people across the country.”
This is the first step. CSSP reiterates our commitment to advancing solutions that reimagine how policy supports young people in their communities.
