Compared to their peers, former foster youth are more likely to end up in prison. One in five former foster youth nationwide are homeless at 18. Seventy percent of female former foster youth are pregnant before their 21st birthday. Under 3 percent of all former foster youth go on to obtain a college degree eventually.
