Across the country, about 23,000 children will soon age out of the foster system, according to the National Foster Youth Institute. Once they reach the age of 18, the NFYI said 20% of them will instantly become homeless. One nonprofit in Tucson — I Am You 360 — is working to lower that percentage by creating a small home village for young adults aging out of the foster care system.
”For one of the residents in the program Carmen Hernandez, it's the first place that she can call her own. “I’ve been kicked out, moved around and just like, it’s really scary not knowing what the next move is,' she said. 'And knowing that I have a home here just makes me feel complete.”Hernandez's home is just one of the 10 small homes in the village. For the residents, they stay in this program for two to three years.
