Bill Summary
CONCERNING THE TRANSITION OF YOUTH IN COLORADO'S FOSTER CARE SYSTEM TO SUCCESSFUL ADULTHOOD, AND, IN CONNECTION THEREWITH, MAKING AN APPROPRIATION.
AI Summary
This bill establishes the Foster Youth in Transition Program in Colorado to provide extended child welfare services to eligible youth ages 18 to 21 (or the greater age required by federal law) who have current or recent prior involvement in the foster care or kinship care systems. The program offers services such as assistance with housing, Medicaid enrollment, case management, and support for educational and employment goals. Eligible youth can voluntarily participate in the program and enter into a voluntary services agreement with their county department, which must file a petition with the juvenile court within 90 days for ongoing oversight. The bill also creates the Foster Youth Successful Transition to Adulthood Grant Program to fund community-based services for these youth.
