This is the second webinar in series of webinars that aim to help counties bring affordable housing options to youth aging out of the child welfare system. In this second webinar, we will focus on The Foster Youth to Independence Program. This is a new HUD program that allows Public Housing Authorities (PHAs), in collaboration with child welfare agencies, to access rental assistance through vouchers for youth who are or have aged out of foster care and are between ages 18 and 24. To get this program in your community, child welfare agencies need the collaboration of eligible housing authorities. In this webinar we will provide information and tips to help child welfare agencies establish partnerships with housing authorities so that the FYI program can benefit youth in your county. We will also hear from Courtney Lewis, Kemberly Stevenson, and Charles Keenan about their work to bring the FYI program to Allegheny County.
