According to the U.S Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families, children are placed into the Foster Care system primarily because of abuse, neglect, uncontrollable behavior or dependence. Foster Care is intended to be a “temporary” service, with a goal of reunifying children with their parents whenever possible. However, an increasing proportion of children who enter the Foster Care system do not achieve reunification with their parents, and live in Foster Care until they reach the age of majority, which in most states is 18 years of age but in some states expanded to age 21.

Approximately 500,000 children in the Foster Care system in the United States, an estimated 24,000 foster youth age out of care each year and attempt to live independently. These youth are expected to succeed on their own like a vast majority of their peers. The transition to adulthood for youth who age out of Foster Care is burdened with challenges, and more specific supports and services are required to help them overcome extremely difficult circumstances. Not surprisingly, in comparison to their peers, research that exists on outcomes for Foster Care alumni shows that these youth are at a higher risk for; homelessness, unemployment, illness, incarceration, welfare dependency, and sexual and physical victimization.
