Government funding for housing ends once foster youth turn 18, leaving them to face many obstacles and often leading them down a negative path. With 20,000 youths facing this issue, Foster Forward aims to provide assistance to these young adults as they strive for independence. Our program supports them with the resources and guidance they need to overcome these obstacles and build a successful future. It’s crucial we acknowledge the uphill battle these residents have faced through their time in foster care. The obstacles they faced is a spectrum and ranges from issues like substance abuse to a history of educational disruption, and we have to make sure to accommodate their needs through our programming and design decisions.
