A report reveals that about one-third of young adults aging out of New York City's foster care system are unable to find affordable housing, resulting in extended stays in care. Released by a coalition of former foster youth and advocates, the report outlines the housing crisis faced by this vulnerable demographic. Proposed solutions include creating 800 homes for foster youth over five years. With many struggling against the city's skyrocketing living costs and low availability of rentals, the report emphasizes the urgent need for systemic changes to support these individuals.
