The STATE of California has a population of 65,000 foster youth. The COUNTY of Los Angeles has a population of 30,000 foster youth. The STATE of New York has a population of 26,000 foster youth. The systems set up to support foster youth in Los Angeles are overwhelmed and failing due to the incredible number of youth needing services

50% of foster youth will be homeless, incarcerated, and/or institutionalized 2 years after leaving the foster care system.

42% of foster youth will not graduate high school

Only 3% of Foster Youth go to college.

Because they are changing placements so often, Foster youth can attend anywhere from 7-20 schools while in care.

80% of Death Row inmates have been in foster care.
