Today, we celebrate the 1st anniversary of the Foster Youth to Independence initiative. In just under a year, this program has grown to more than 20 states, transforming young men & women's lives by providing the resources & housing they need to write their own ticket to success.

Congratulations to HRA and Bill de Blasio . Thanks to foster youth who advocated for #FYI and #FUP and Department of Housing and Urban Development direct access to Housing Choice Vouchers is available nationwide.
