Housing sought for kids too old for foster care

The Salt Lake County Youth Government Commission intends to minimize homelessness by creating housing options for foster-care children too old to remain in state custody, according to Marianne Brough, a leadership and mentoring coordinator for Youth EmployAbility Services.

She says that as many as 65 percent of youth who become too old for foster care land on the street within two years.
