Johanna Greeson of the School of Social Policy & Practice led a study that surveyed current and recent foster youth in the U.S. about their experiences of the pandemic. Many respondents reported facing housing instability, food insecurity, and a lack of support. “I hope we can use this learning to inform policy and practice changes so that when disaster strikes again, all our systems, including health care, can more effectively respond to the safety, health, and well-being needs of these marginalized young people,” said Greeson.
