One step at a time, David Baker wants to help make sure no kid becomes homeless when they leave the foster care program.
SAN DIEGO —
According to the National Foster Youth Initiative, 20% of kids in the foster system become homeless immediately after they turn 18. That number jumps to 31% in California. And 25% of kids in the foster system will experience homelessness at some point in the first four years after they leave the program.
"We give them the support and give them the counseling. We help them develop their networks, all in a hope that these things would be what they need, once they progressed to their 20s and 30s," says Lipford.
