1 in 10 young adults ages 18-25 experience homelessness in a year; half of them involve couch surfing or sleeping in unsafe conditions. Approximately 23,000 “foster care youth” are “aging out “of foster care each year. 1 out of 5 youths leaves the foster care system to become homeless. Unfortunately, many youths leave foster care without the support system and life skills necessary to live on their own, leaving many foster care children to be incarcerated within two years of their emancipation or becoming victims of “sex trafficking..”
