Where can I find information about Extended Foster Care (AB12)?

The Extended Foster Care Program enables foster youth in California to remain in, or return to, foster care until age 21. You should always reach out to your county social worker or attorney first with questions about your status as a foster youth. These general resources from the California Department of Social Services can also provide an overview of Extended Foster Care (which is made available through CA Assembly Bill 12, or AB12).
