Today Congressman Mike Turner (OH-10) reintroduced The Fostering Stable Housing Opportunities Act, a bill designed to increase access to housing for youth aging out of foster care without increasing federal spending.

"The Fostering Stable Housing Opportunities Act will help break the issue of federally created homelessness, in which youth are currently aging out of foster care and into homelessness," said Turner. "Roughly 20,000 youth across the country age out of foster care each year. This bill will create a pathway that kids who age out of the foster care system can use to transition successfully into independence."
