@formerhomeles39@HUDgov@NYCHousing Good work but it isn’t a pilot. It is universal, predictable, and synchronized. We specifically created it to NOT be a pilot. :-)
Today, we celebrate the 1st anniversary of the Foster Youth to Independence initiative. In just under a year, this program has grown to more than 20 states, transforming young men & women's lives by providing the resources & housing they need to write their own ticket to success.
Tomorrow begins our 20th Anniversary PPI. We give a thank you to another Advocacy CHAMPION Sponsor who partnered in fostering positive change & shaping a brighter future for our communities, Rise Services, Inc. We're honored to have you in the FFTA Community & applaud your impact

@familyfinders@GethousedRuthie By that standard, it sounds like the # of youth aging out is predictable in Oregon. Thus, every young person who reaches age 20.9 months in care who would benefit from an #FYI voucher as a platform for economic independence #FSS can get a voucher #FSHO and build their own future
Youth-led advocacy spurred the passage of the Fostering Stable Housing Opportunities Act - a new law to prevent homelessness among youth leaving #FosterCare. Learn all about this transformational law from the @NCHCWorg in its new brief

To be clear. Our neighbors are not dying from Covid. They are dying from living outside. The decision to close shelters, to require people to live on the street continuously for a year to "earn" permanent housing, and to shutter "acute-mental-health" facilities was a choice.
Imagine not using the 75 #FYI vouchers LA just got to help the 50 youth mentioned in this article. Accdg to Hilda Solis only 50 youth don't have a solid plan for housing. #FSHO this is fixable. LA Co Supervisors Vote 2 Avoid Foster Youth Housing Cliff https://t.co/CyJRV87ww6
Do you see what I see? In the spirit of the #HolidaySeason & of all that is good &holy can we be honest that #HousingFirst is #HousingLast? Look what has happened to people who must wait years to be homeless enough to qualify for help. Anyone interested please DM me to discuss.
