Get Congress to Pass H​.​R. 5167, a bill that will provide additional emergency support for older foster youth under the John H. Chafee Foster Care Program for Successful Transition to Adulthood, and extend through the fiscal year 2022 certain flexibilities provided for the program by division X of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021, and for other purposes.

Based on a report from the Department of Health & Human Services from 2016, tens of thousands of foster care youth age out of the system each year with little or no resources available to them (Hernandez & Lee, 2020). Coming from a background that lacks a stable family dynamic, these youth are vulnerable. Congress has tried and failed on multiple occasions to fix this broken process by cultivating independence in foster care youth who are aging out of the foster care system.
