Kendra's Story

Kendra at home

Kendra was approved for the Foster Youth to Independence rental assistance program in late 2022. With perseverance and dedication, Kendra was accepted to an internship program working with people experiencing homelessness in our community, through the Immigrant and Refugee Community Organization. Since then, Kendra has changed her career goals and now envisions herself working with foster and at-risk youth. With as many as 20,000 youth aging out of foster care each year nationwide, and up to 46% of these youth experiencing homelessness, we need more people like Kendra.
