Nearly 1 in 3 former foster youth become homeless. That's why I introduced #AB2477 , the Foster Care Cash Savings bill, sponsored by Alliance for Children's Rights California Coalition for Youth. It empowers our most vulnerable youth to save for the future & grow the best financial safety net possible.
