If we're serious about changing outcomes for foster youth, we must move beyond debates about whether extended #fostercare works to focus on how it can work best. @FPFY loom.ly/N1NtRvs

The research is clear: supporting foster youth after they turn 18 has a positive impact on them for years. I was so glad to deliver $500,000 in funding for @FPFY to acquire and renovate affordable housing next to @PCCLancer for young adults transitioning out of foster care.

This is a powerful partnership between Pasadena City College and a CA Alliance member, @FPFY. Thank you First Place for Youth for all you do to support our youth and communities. '"CEO Thomas Lee told LAist that it can be difficult for foster youth to graduate due to insufficient housing, transportation and economic resources. Pasadena City College will provide students who are transitioning out of foster care with studio housing units, LAist reported." edsource.org/updates/pasade…
