Presented by John Burton Advocates for Youth (JBAY)
Join the Transition-Age Youth Research and Evaluation Hub (TAY-Hub) and John Burton Advocates for Youth (JBAY) for a conversation about new insights from the California Youth Transitions to Adulthood (CalYOUTH) Study. This webinar will unveil a fresh analysis linking CalYOUTH and state administrative data to better understand how extended foster care and the types of placements young people receive shape their risk of homelessness.
The findings are timely as the state embarks on reform of its foster care rates: Nearly 1 in 5 youth experience homelessness between ages 17 and 19; youth who exit care before age 19 are three times more likely to experience homelessness than those who stay; and supportive housing placements—specifically the Transitional Housing Placement for Non-Minor Dependents (THP-NMD) and Foster Family Agency (FFA) homes—stand out as the strongest protections against homelessness.
The session will feature TAY-Hub Co-Director, Dr. Mark Courtney who will walk participants through the research, followed by Selena Liu-Raphael with the California Alliance of Child and Family Services, who will discuss county-level differences in supportive placements, youth engagement, and opportunities to strengthen California’s extended foster care system.
