Educate me aboFoster care age-out. Rent out to the State?

Question

What do you know about Independent living, Foster care age-out renters? How do I create the business and apply to rent to the State?

Michele Patterson · Answer

I concur...I work with a co-living company that creates the community. I am looking for investors to put their business together and I can assist with anything having to do with procuring the asset. I have contacts within the Dept of Children and Families who can assist with partnering to help young adults who are aging out of foster care system and have not been adopted. They are falling through the cracks and there is very little help for them to move forward with housing.

@Michele Patterson - that’s awesome. Let’s stay in contact. State to State the laws are different on how they operate.

Oh, wow, I am so happy to see this topic come up because I am so interested in doing this type of project as well. I am a volunteer Guardian ad Litem here in my county and there are so many children aging out of foster care and orphanages. There is a wonderful program that will help them to go to school and receive funds from the State, but there is no transitional housing for them. I would love to put together a co-living house project and I have been doing a little bit of due diligence. I would love to keep in touch or hear back from anyone who has information that can guide us.
