Fostering Connections to Success Act

The Fostering Connections to Success Act is a U.S. federal law aimed at improving support for youth leaving foster care. It extends federal assistance until age 21, allowing young adults more time to achieve independence with access to education, housing, and healthcare. The law encourages states to create programs that promote stability and well-being, such as personalized case plans and extended foster care services. Its goal is to better prepare young adults for independent living, reduce homelessness, and improve long-term outcomes by providing ongoing support during this critical transition period.
