Stepping Up for Foster Youth: A Policy Playbook for California’s Four-Year Universities

To help understand the conditions that foster youth face at four- year universities, track whether state-mandated policies have been implemented, and identify promising practices that can be shared and emulated, JBAY conducted a survey in late 2016 and early 2017 of the foster youth programs within the CSU and UC systems. This report summarizes the results of that survey, focusing on institutional policies that be put in place to better support foster youth.
