Also. The majority of long term homeless individuals are people that aged out of the foster care system. The moment they turn 18 they are out on their ass with only the clothing on their back and no life skills because foster care in America is little better than prison.
Aka slavery. The stories of foster kids are often horrific.
I'm surprised there hasn't been a class action lawsuit on the behalf of all foster children (past and present) against the US government. It would almost be impossible for any other modern country to do a worse job.
I'd like to see that happen, with meaningful reparations and meaningful, systemic changes and better oversight.
