“Sixty-five percent (of these children) leave foster care with nowhere to live and 51% are unemployed. Far more will wind up in prison than in college—20%-to-30% by comparison. Girls who age out of the system are four times more likely than the general population to receive public assistance. Forty percent of people living in California's homeless shelters are former foster children.”
—Aid urged for older foster kids, San Francisco Chronicle, January 17, 2007
