Missed Opportunities: Pathways from Foster Care to Youth Homelessness in America

A high percentage of young people experiencing homelessness have been in foster care. However, not all of these are young people who “aged out.” Rather, some are young people who exited foster care through reunification and adoption. This brief highlights actions that child welfare systems can take to prevent young people who have experienced foster care from becoming homeless, regardless of how they exited. This is the seventh in a series of briefs from Voices of Youth Count.
