Support Foster Youth Achievement Act.
- Issue: Washington State foster youth who earn a high school diploma or a GED and turn 18 immediately become ineligible for foster care support, including housing and health care. Youth who “age out” of the foster care system are at increased risk for homelessness, unemployment, mental health problems, chemical dependency, early parenting, and incarceration. House Bill 2002 would allow youth to remain in their foster homes until age 21 if they are enrolled in a college or a voc-tech program. This bill would provide an incentive for education to help prevent homelessness for a lifetime.
