In 2015, over 670,000 children spent time in U.S. foster care. Although half will return to their parents, this still leaves about 300,000 foster children, many who stay in foster care for years, while about 24,000 will be forced out of the system this year with no financial or family support. For foster children who never find a permanent home and simply age out of the foster care system, the consequences are significant and long-term, they often do not get the help they need with high school completion, employment, accessing health care, continued educational opportunities, housing and transitional living arrangements. Studies of youth who have left foster care have shown they are more likely than those in the general population to not finish high school, be unemployed, and be dependent on public assistance. Many find themselves in prison, homeless, or parents at an early age.”Foster Care Facts:8% are in institutions6% are in group homesOnly 4% are in pre-adoptive homes50% will complete high school25% will be homeless40% will depend on some form of public assistance27% of males and 10% of females will be incarcerated at least onceEIN #: 95-4447561
