Please join John Burton Advocates for Youth for a web seminar marking the release of a best practices publication guiding local administration of special population Housing Choice Vouchers for former foster youth. This webinar and its accompanying publication aim to equip child welfare agencies, Public Housing Authorities and community partners with best practices to maximize FYI/FUP vouchers. The practices were the basis of, and informed by, a recent community of practice led by JBAY in partnership with the National Center for Housing and Child Welfare, focused on FYI/FUP vouchers. Over the course of the community of practice, the participating 15 counties increased their collective number of vouchers by 81%, with 11 counties now making use of the on-demand request process, up from one county at the start of the community of practice.
John Burton Advocates for Youth improves the quality of life for youth in California who have been in foster care or homeless by advocating for better laws, training communities to strengthen local practices and conducting research to inform policy solutions.
