The Legal Aid Society brought a class action lawsuit that challenged the New York City Administration for Children’s Services (ACS) failure to ensure that youth aging out of foster care had stable housing and were not being discharged to homelessness. As a result of the settlement agreement, ACS developed new policies extending the placement in foster care of some youth past the age of 21, increased training to its contract foster care agencies, developed new tracking systems, and took over supervision of youth discharged to independent living prior to their 21st birthday. Formal monitoring of compliance with the settlement ended in 2017.
