50% of homeless youth in Metro-Vancouver have had experience with the foster care system and 11% indicated “aging out” of government care as the reason for first experiencing homelessness. Not having families supporting them makes it difficult for youth from care to enter housing markets and more prone to homelessness.
Approximately 1000 youth will leave BC government care each year.
