Facing the Mortgage Crisis: Aging Out of Foster Care and Into Affordable Housing

Facing the Mortgage Crisis: Aging Out of Foster Care and Into Affordable Housing

The Vista Maria campus for girls has gorgeous brick buildings spread out over 37 acres. You could easily mistake it for a boarding school out east. There's the big lawn out front. Volleyball courts behind each hall. Inside, you'll find some girls watching a movie, others are working out, and some are getting ready for the big Fall dance.

But that's where the similarities end.

Note from Beverly Tran: What should be raised as a concern is why Michigan Supreme Court Justices Maura Corrigan and Robert Young, both who have strong affiliations in the direction of Vista Maria and child welfare, have neglected to take a public position on the severe challenges youth, who age-out the system, are faced with.

But then again, I believe it would be a conflict of interest to advocate for those you adjudicate.
