And (from the required reading in this module)

https://chronicleofsocialchange.org/foster-care/state-lawmakers-race-the-clock-to-prevent-hundreds-of-foster-youth-from-aging-out-alone/44320 (Links to an external site.)

1. From the article in the Chronicle for Social Change in the link above (and from related articles in the Chronicle and/or on related websites) , describe 3-4 concerns/critical issues for youth aging out of foster care, especially those that are exacerbated by the COVID pandemic.
2. From the NCSL website, select 2-3 states and r eview the proposed bills (or they may have become legislation) for these states. How do these bills compare across the states? Describe the extent to which these bills/laws can make a difference in addressing the impending crises for youth aging out of foster care. What are these bills missing?
3. Where should policy advocates prioritize their efforts on behalf of this population?
