Hearts to Homes

We're 🎉 thrilled 🎉 to share that our Wings & Things event on October 17th raised over $11,000 to support young adults aging out of foster care in furnishing their first independent homes! 🏡✨ Furniture poverty remains a significant issue for many, especially those transitioning out of the foster system. Thanks to our amazing sponsors, generous raffle and prize donors, and everyone who attended (including our first-ever 🏆 cornhole tournament participants!) — we’re making a real difference together. 💙 Your support helps provide stability and comfort to those who need it most. Thank you! 🙏💖 #HeartsToHomes #WingsAndThings 🍗 #SupportFosterYouth #FurniturePoverty #CommunitySupport #CornholeTournament

New York set a goal to keep at least 50% of foster youth with family, aiming to prioritize kinship care. However, some counties are struggling to meet this target, falling significantly short of the goal. "We should care about this disparity across counties. Counties that aren’t doing a good job with kinship placement should be thinking about why they’re not." —Eunju Lee, Associate Professor, University of Albany This insightful article from The Imprint News explores why certain areas are facing challenges, the implications for foster youth, and how the state is working to address these issues.
