Foster Care Shuffle

Street Roots

In response to Oregon’s high number of moves and disruptions for young people in foster care, Street Roots, with funding and collaboration from the Solutions Journalism Network, is investigating unique solutions to problems associated with placement instability for youth in care. This five-part series explores innovative, data-driven solutions which can be replicated in other states or regions.
