Presented by John Burton Advocates for Youth
This year marks the second year of the California Foster Youth Tax Credit, the nation’s first and only tax credit for current and former foster youth. In 2023, the Foster Youth Tax Credit provided current and former foster in California with over $5 million, increasing income and decreasing rates of poverty. When combined with other state and federal tax credits, California’s foster youth directly received over $9 million. In the 2024 tax season, John Burton Advocates for Youth (JBAY) and our partners piloted a range of strategies to increase the utilization of this important program. How did they work? What did we learn? Find out on Wednesday, September 18th at 10:00 a.m. on a webinar hosted by JBAY. Joining the event will be our project partners: iFoster, Think of Us, The Community College Foundation, San Francisco Court Appointed Special Advocates, Bill Wilson Center, Santa Clara Social Services Agency, Lutheran Social Services and Beyond Emancipation.
