Stable, affordable housing is essential for young people transitioning out of foster care. Child welfare workers, caregivers, and supporters have both an opportunity and a responsibility to help young people develop and transform the vital coping skills that served them in care so they're equipped and empowered to reach their goals.

This resource promotes trauma-informed, supportive conversations that honor youth autonomy while helping them build confidence, stability, and lasting independence. By reframing how adults respond, we can empower young people to feel heard, supported, and prepared for successful futures.

How are you supporting youth transitioning from foster care in your community? What strategies have made the greatest impact?
