2020 was the first full year for the Foster Youth to Independence initiative (FYI), which helps secure stable housing and self-sufficiency services for young adults aging out of foster care.
This week’s podcast was recorded live on Zoom in early December, and features a discussion about FYI’s first year and what comes next as the initiative recently became enshrined into law. We’re joined by Ruth White and Jamole Callahan, two chief architects of FYI, and Love Williams, an early participant in the initiative.
