S3:E8 - The Hydra of Homelessness: Foster Care w/ Kim Guay & Naomi Davidson
A story about homelessness that is often told is that young adults exiting the Foster Care system make up a large amount of the homeless population. On this episode we are talking to Kim Guay (Director) & Naomi Davidson (Independent Living Program Coordinator) from the Alaska Office Of Children’s Services about that narrative and all the ways youth in the foster care system are being supported as they transition into adulthood.
