SAN JOSE, Calif. California Sen. Dave Cortese is on a mission to deliver $1,000 in monthly assistance to hundreds of foster kids who are aging out of the system.
Senate Bill 739, the Transition Age Foster Youth Act, would provide a direct, unconditional monthly stipend of $1,000 to the 2,500 California youths who at 21-years-old are set to age out of the state’s Extended Foster Care System on an annual basis.
