What is the focus of the Fostering Connections to Success and Increasing Adoptions Act of 2008?

Establishing new foster homes
Extending assistance for youth aged 18 to 21 in foster care
Eliminating financial support for foster care
Strengthening family reunification efforts

The correct answer is: Extending assistance for youth aged 18 to 21 in foster care

The focus of the Fostering Connections to Success and Increasing Adoptions Act of 2008 is to extend assistance for youth aged 18 to 21 in foster care. This legislation recognizes the ongoing challenges that young people face as they transition out of foster care, providing them with crucial support during this critical period. The Act aims to help these individuals gain skills and resources necessary for independent living, including financial assistance, education, and housing support. This extension of assistance is vital because many youth do not have a stable support system beyond the age of 18, and the transition to adulthood can be particularly challenging for those emerging from the foster care system. By allowing these young adults to remain eligible for services and assistance until they reach 21, the Act helps to ensure that they have the opportunity to succeed and thrive.
