Former Foster Care Youth Steering Committee

HB 18-1319 mandated the creation of a steering committee that will develop an implementation plan that allows former foster care youth to receive services for a successful adulthood, or assistance in returning to placement, or identifying alternatives to returning to a placement after reaching eighteen years of age. The steering committee will make recommendations to the operation, evaluation, and sustainability of the implementation plan.
