Thankful that the provisions we designed continue to make a difference. Ohio foster care youth and alumni volunteered our time to travel to Washington D.C. from 2013-2020:
a.) To work with federal legislators to author and advocate for the passage of the Fostering Stable Housing Opportunities Act
b.) To meet with HUD to design the Foster Youth to Independence Initiative
Deeply grateful for Ruth Anne White and her tireless support of FSHO and FYI, and her dedication to remind others about the role of youth in making these provisions happen.
When it comes to federal and state provisions designed for foster youth by foster youth, there can be a willful forgetfulness that happens over time.
It is often up to us to chart and remember those pages in history.
