Story
An 18 year old, who will age out of care is in the process of getting connected with the preparation for adult living services to receive extended foster care services until age 21. She is currently in need of emergency funds or housing. The youth was incarcerated and turned 18 while incarcerated. She was just released from jail today and has nowhere to stay. She is currently at a local hotel and is needing funds to stay there. Attempts have been made to place her in an emergency shelter; however, the shelters contacted were full. We are asking for funds to cover her hotel stay for 2 weeks-until she can be placed in a supported independent living placement. The estimated total cost for the 2 week hotel stay is $700. Any amount of assistance or contribution would be greatly appreciated.
