As a result of the state’s settlement of a lawsuit brought by Children’s Rights, youth who have been in the foster care system are eligible for housing, health insurance, clothing, and other needed services until they reach age 21. The Schumann Fund grant supported the Center’s efforts to ensure that youth and their caseworkers are aware of these rights.
