FOSTER YOUTH - COUNTYWIDE

Program Overview:
The demonstrated success of the six core FYS program sites resulted in continuing legislative support of the existing programs annual funding, and additional support for program expansion through the 1998 Budget Act. The intent of the new Countywide Foster Youth Services Program is to make Foster Youth Services available to every child and youth, ages 4 to 21, residing in a licensed children's institution (group home) throughout California. The goals of the Countywide Foster Youth Services Program reflects the core mandates of Education Code sections 42920-42925 and key concepts of Senate Bill 933 (Thompson, Chapter 311, Statutes of 1998) that affect the educational needs of foster youth.
