Summary
The Fresh Starts for Foster Youth Act amends the John H. Chafee Foster Care Program to require states to consider legal issues affecting foster youth—including housing, education, employment, and family connections—as part of their case planning processes. The bill allows states to use program funds to support access to legal services and counseling for current and former foster youth. States must certify that their case planning addresses legal matters such as court records, family relationship recognition, and custody and permanency issues.
