Do you know someone who would appreciate information about AB 12 and the California Fostering Connections Coalition? Encourage them to learn about the bill by visiting this website and joining us in supporting California’s foster youth.
“I write to ask that you join me in supporting California Assembly Bill 12, a major child-welfare reform bill currently under consideration in the California State Assembly. Among its many provisions, AB 12 will better support youth in their transition from foster care by allowing them to access services until age 21. It will also save the state of California millions of dollars by opting the state into a federal program to offer the same support to relative caregivers given to non-relatives when they become the legal guardians of youth in foster care.
Both of these major reforms will ensure that we do all we can to support foster youth as they develop into independent, healthy adults. Learn more about the legislation, and about what you can do to help, at www.cafosteringconnections.org.”
