Improving the Lives of Foster Children
Foster care provides a separate, safe home for children away from a dangerous living environment.
Oregon has made a promise to provide a safe place for foster kids, and we must make sure that these children are getting the supports they need.
As foster children reach the age of 18 and begin their own lives, they need ongoing support so they can grow into happy, productive adults.
