Every year, roughly 5,000 such foster care youth end up homeless. But a new program is poised to completely change all that, and change it as early as this year.

This is American Thought Leaders 🇺🇸, and I’m Jan Jekielek

In this episode, we’ll sit down with Secretary Ben Carson to discuss how the Foster Youth to Independence (FYI) Initiative was launched in just 4 months after an ambitious group of former foster youth pitched it to him. We’ll also speak to program participant Adaora Onuora, as well as two longtime advocates for foster youth who helped make this happen—Ruth Anne White, Executive Director of The National Center for Housing and Child Welfare, and Jamole Callahan, one of the founders of ACTION Ohio.
