This article from the Chronicle of Social Change shines the light on a new pilot program in a county of the U.S. state of California that will provide former foster youth, ages 21 to 24, with $1,000 monthly payments for up to a year. "County officials said this week that 72 young adults will participate when the pilot program launches in June," says the article. "Those eligible have been in the foster care system between the age of 16 and 21, and must still be living in high-cost Santa Clara County in Northern California. Santa Clara County hopes to prioritize the participation of 24 year olds in the pilot project."
