500 KIDS EXIT FOSTER CARE EACH YEAR WITHOUT A FAMILY

89% BECOME ADDICTED, HOMELESS, INCARCERATED, OR PREGNANT WITHIN 2 YEARS

EACH TEEN WHO "AGES OUT" WITHOUT A FAMILY COSTS TAXPAYERS $300,000 OVER EACH KID'S LIFETIME

THERE IS A DISCONNECT BETWEEN THE CHILD WELFARE SYSTEM AND LEADERS IN OUR COMMUNITY

THE RESULTS ARE BLEAK AND THE NEGATIVE IMPACT STRETCHES ACROSS ALL OF VIRGINIA

A 2018 VA GOVERNMENT AUDIT REVEALED SERIOUS ISSUES IN VIRGINIA'S FOSTER CARE SYSTEM AND CALLED FOR IMMEDIATE CORRECTIVE ACTION.

IN 2020, FEDERAL LEGISLATION MOVES FUNDING FROM GROUP HOMES TO FOSTER HOME, MEANING A DIRE NEED FOR MORE FOSTER FAMILIES NOW.
