Whereas the people of the United States have a sincere ap-

Whereas foster youth possess unique qualities and skills that 
make them ideal candidates for employment, but com-
pared to youth nationally and youth from low-income 
families, they are less likely to be employed or employed 
regularly; 
Whereas, when afforded comprehensive support, this resilient 
population excels in the job market; 
Whereas, within 18 months after leaving foster care, 25 per-

than a quarter of the United States homeless population; 
Whereas, without positive intervention, youth who age out of 
foster care often have bouts of homelessness, criminal ac-
