Project 3,500: How Two State Programs Expanded Housing for Former Foster Youth in California
Thursday, January 23, 2025
– 9:30 am – 11:00 am PST
Location: Online
Cost: Free
In 2021, John Burton Advocates for Youth embarked on Project 3,500, with the goal of expanding state resources for housing to reach at least 3,500 youth. California has made new investments in housing for youth leaving the foster care system, acknowledging the increased risk of homelessness and disproportionate impact of the state’s housing crisis on this population. As a result of these investments, California’s capacity to serve former foster youth through supportive transitional housing and federal housing vouchers has increased by 70% since 2021, reaching more than 3,700 youth. This webinar will mark the release of a report by JBAY discussing this increase in capacity, related findings and recommendations. Information for the report was drawn from publicly available data, a statewide survey of county child welfare agencies, and interviews of county child welfare representatives and service providers.
