Leaning into the wind



This has been has been a whirlwind of a morning, filled with challenges, opportunities, and solutions-based brainstorming with many others behind the scenes.

It has been a day that reminds me that former foster youth can so easily become housing-insecure. Especially in the midst of an international pandemic.

  • Their campus might go virtual.
  • Their job might be furloughed.
  • Their unemployment might be denied or delayed.
  • Their health might be impacted.
  • They might experience isolation and discouragement.
  • They might fall through the gaps that exist in their local support network.
  • They might -- heaven forbid -- make a mistake, and then experience magnified consequences due to lack of family support.


Which leads me to then remember how deeply grateful I am to HUD and for FYI.

In the midst of this complicated year --- during which housing resources are needed more than ever ---it is downright beautiful that FYI continues to move forward and change lives.
