Meet Katie B.

Katie B's life was defined by compassion, service, and a deep commitment to children. Beyond her own grandchildren, she lovingly cared for and guided many children in her community, often serving as a stabilizing presence during times of need.

Inspired by her legacy, the organization is dedicated to supporting foster youth by addressing their social, emotional, and practical needs. Through advocacy, resources, and supportive programming, we work to promote stability, resilience, and long-term success for young people in foster care.

Katie B’s values of nurturing care, dignity, and service remain the foundation of our mission and continue to guide our commitment to improving outcomes for foster youth.

In Loving Memory of Katie B. Her legacy of love, compassion, and service continues to inspire our mission.

Annually, around 18,500 to 20,000 young people age out of U.S. foster care without permanent housing. Within the first year after aging out, approximately 50% become homeless. Within four years of leaving foster care, about 20–25% of these former foster youth experience homelessness. Between ages 17 and 21, roughly 11–36% of youth who age out of foster care report experiencing homelessness
