Transition Age Youth

Recently $482,000 was awarded to four housing authorities to assist young people aging out of foster care and who are at risk of experiencing homelessness.

This national campaign promotes adoption from foster care and raises awareness of the more than 123,000 children and teens who are waiting to be adopted. This year’s campaign includes videos, radio, digital, and print ads that highlight stories from families who have adopted from foster care and showcase the many moments that make adopting a teen rewarding.

This survey will document the kinds of support provided to family members and young adults with behavioral health challenges during the transition years (16–25). Family members and other allies who provide/provided support to young people and young adults who receive/received support are invited to complete the confidential survey.

This toolkit provides guidance and examples that illustrate the Youth Welfare approach for working with youth in foster care.

This policy guide is written for youth- and young adult-led groups and organizations that want to make changes in policies related to mental health and other human services that affect them and other transition-age youth.
