| VA: What Happens When Youth Age Out of Foster Care? Presenting “Aged-Out: Finding Home” (Press release) Children’s Home Society of Virginia – Jan 22, 2020 |
| Description: We know that opening doors to youth aging out of foster care will make a positive, life-changing impact and create a new path to possibilities for these at-risk young people. We believe that surrounding these young people with the support they need to thrive, while teaching, guiding, coaching and challenging them will help them to develop into successful, independent adults. That is why the Children’s Home Society of Virginia partnered with the Better Housing Coalition to create The Possibilities Project, a privately funded program for youth ages 18 to 25 who have aged out of the traditional foster care system in Virginia. |
