Housing the estimated 20,000 young people who age out of foster care each year is
a struggle in communities around the country, but no where is that struggle more
urgent than in California – home to one-fifth of the nation’s emancipated foster
youth. At a time when foster youth advocates believe that up to half of the youth
who age out of foster care become homeless within 18 months, California serves as
the most glaring example of the challenges they face. A 2002 study by the California
Department of Social Services concluded that 65 percent of the 4,355 foster youth
who aged out in the previous year lacked stable housing. Joshua House is rising
to the need of God’s children and setting forth on a long term mission to provide
help to those who need it
