SURVIVOR SUPPLEMENTAL INCOME PILOT
“This program has helped me in so many ways, but especially in supporting me with my son. It is just the two of us, and without this support I would not be able to meet our basic needs like food and transportation, especially now that my AB12 is about to expire.” -- I.M. Age 20, turning 21
Freedom Forward is leading a pilot initiative to provide guaranteed income to transition- age youth (TAY) aging out of foster care who are survivors of, or at risk of, sex trafficking and commercial sexual exploitation. The program offers monthly financial support to help meet basic needs and reduce the risk of (re)exploitation.
