Youth in foster care need this tremendous support and for it not to end tomorrow! We owe it to young people in the states care to not cut them off in the middle of a pandemic- @SenSchumer @SenGillibrand we need you to #reupchafee now!

[CDF-NY @CDFNewYork]

.@SenSchumer & @SenGillibrand - foster youth in NY need you to #ReUpChafee now!

#COVID19 protections will disappear tomorrow, putting many young people in perilous risk of homelessness and unable to meet their basic needs.

We need HR 5167 to #SustainFosterYouth.

Hey @RepDwightEvans ! Let's pass H.R. 5167 to support foster youth through the pandemic. Over 20,000 foster youth who have not been adopted or returned home will abruptly age out of care on October 1, 2021. #homlessness is a reality for many of us. Please extend the moratorium.

Commissioner Ali opposes local office, advocating state level. LOCAL and independent key for accessibility and response. State oversight not working. What does it take for PHL to establish this office? How many more youth must suffer? #UnmutePHLyouth https://t.co/N5BBvA3vTJ

Gym- how did Devereux have 800 calls to police but received sufficient score from DHS? DHS Rodriguez: we evaluate annually. The reports were not in the year we evaluated. Gym- abuse was 2003-2019! Need local, independent ombudsperson NOW #UnmutePHLyouth https://t.co/N5BBvA3vTJ

DHS states they are working to increase access to grievance claims & family rights navigation, but history shows those claims remain to go unresolved. #unmutePHLyouth

"I could have used this office when I was over medicated, and when I didn’t receive appropriate support in placement, and when I left. No child or youth should have to do this alone, but I did. I was a kid, I deserved better." -Qilah #unmutePHLyouth

[Advocates Transforming Youth Systems @Advocates_TYS]

"If we had an office like this locally, a lot of youth from PHL in placement and in group homes might not be behind in their schooling, having to graduate after 19, 20 or older." -I-sha-le #unmutePHLyouth
