RaisingHOPE helps former foster youth prepare for their first home outside of the foster care system. This process includes:
- Finding, securing and maintaining a housing arrangement in a group home or rental arrangement
- Provide housing case management, which includes essential services in emergency supports to foster care youth such as 1st month’s rest / security deposit, essential bathroom and kitchen items
- Credit education and credit building; creating a workable housing budget
- Connecting youth with key resources across the community, including those from within the child welfare system and the local Continuum of Care.
