Good Afternoon, Today we are providing information about Youth aging out of foster care and a few of the reasons they may need support to continue to thrive:

WHAT ARE THE EFFECTS ON YOUTH WHO AGE OUT OF FOS­TER CARE?
The tran­si­tion to adult­hood is a sig­nif­i­cant and chal­leng­ing devel­op­men­tal phase of life for all young peo­ple, but eman­ci­pat­ed youth must endure this phase with­out the sup­port of a lov­ing fam­i­ly and absent the famil­iar sup­ports of the fos­ter care sys­tem. For eman­ci­pat­ed youth, the road ahead is far from easy. Com­pared to their gen­er­al pop­u­la­tion peers, young peo­ple who have aged out of fos­ter care are more like­ly to expe­ri­ence behav­ioral, men­tal and phys­i­cal health issues. They are also more like­ly to endure chal­lenges, such as:
hous­ing instability;
job­less­ness;
aca­d­e­m­ic difficulties;
ear­ly par­ent­hood; and
sub­stance use.

HOUS­ING INSTABILITY
The link between home­less­ness and fos­ter care is so well-defined that some peo­ple have called the child wel­fare sys­tem “a high­way to home­less­ness,” accord­ing to the Nation­al Fos­ter Youth Insti­tute. Con­sid­er the data:

Close to one-third (29%) of home­less youth and young adults have spent time in fos­ter care, accord­ing to a Chapin Hall study (https://www.chapinhall.org/research/interrupting-the-pathway-from-foster-care-to-homelessness/). Some esti­mates are even higher.

Almost half (47%) of youth and young adults with a fos­ter care his­to­ry first expe­ri­enced home­less­ness with their birth fam­i­lies, com­pared to 6% of their gen­er­al pop­u­la­tion peers, sig­nal­ing longer-term insta­bil­i­ty for many young peo­ple in care.
One in four youth (https://datacenter.aecf.org/data/tables/11857-youth-transitioning-out-of-foster-care-experienced-homelessness-in-the-past-two-years?loc=1&loct=1 /1/any/false/1698/6259,6260/23234) in fos­ter care at age 17 and sur­veyed at age 21 said that they had been home­less at some point in the last two years.

Among for­mer fos­ter youth who age out of care, approx­i­mate­ly 22% to 30% become home­less dur­ing the tran­si­tion to adult­hood, accord­ing to a 2024study (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S019074092400392X). This is sub­stan­tial­ly high­er than the esti­mat­ed 4% life­time preva­lence of home­less­ness in the gen­er­al population.

Home­less­ness is often accom­pa­nied by oth­er chal­lenges, too. For exam­ple: Com­pared to their sta­bly housed peers, young peo­ple who are home­less — even those who have not spent a day in fos­ter care — are more like­ly to exit school ear­ly, be unem­ployed and face men­tal and phys­i­cal health challenges.
