Extractions: College is tough enough without having to worry about tuition, health insurance and living expenses-but what if you don't even have a family to return to during the holidays? For kids aging out of foster care, getting through college means more than just maintaining good grades. Article from Connect for Kids The National Indian Child Welfare Association and Casey Family Programs have released a new document, Improving Access to Independent Living Services for Tribes and American Indian Youth. Author, Nicole Clemens, compares the differences in service requirements under the previous independent living legislation to those mandated under the Chafee Foster Care Independence Program. Most importantly, there is a section addressing how service needs can be provided to Native Youth in a culturally appropriate way. The author acknowledges Robin Nixon of the National Foster Care Awareness Project, Pam Johnson of the Children's Bureau, and Rebecca Copeland of the National Resource Center for Youth Services, for assistance and support. This report by the Foster Care Awareness Project identifies high quality practices by agencies that serve youth transitioning out of foster care. Examples of programs from Independent Living Programs are cited from across the country. Prepared by the National Child Welfare Resource Center for Organizational Improvement at the University of Southern Maine and the National Resource Center for Youth Services at the University of Oklahoma, funded by the Annie E.

One such program is called Y-Guides. It is based upon a respect for strong family and community ties in American traditions. The program brings together parents and children in small groups. The groups get together for meetings to participate in fun and educational outside activities. A unique quality of the program is that there are activities for all combinations of parent and child: Father and son; Father and daughter; Mother and son; and Mother and daughter The YMCA Guide program originated in 1926 in Missouri, through the inspiration of Joe Friday, an Ojibway Indian, and his friend, Harold S. Keltner, a YMCA director.

Extractions: As an extension of building affordable housing with services, Beyond Housing now focuses on the broader goal of building communities. In the past, Beyond Housing built single-family homes on scattered sites with the goal of achieving a more rapid assimilation into each neighborhood. In 1997, the Monsanto Fund challenged Beyond Housing to expand its involvement from affecting individual homes to encompass entire neighborhoods. Since then, Beyond Housing has incorporated its understanding of how surrounding environment affects family progress to develop a series of community programs. Today, we are constructing a greater number of homes in a single neighborhood with the hope of strengthening the community as a whole. Seventeen of our homes were built in the north St. Louis county neighborhood of Castle Point. Castle Point is a community of approximately 5,000 residents living in 1,200 homes. Over the last twenty years, it has experienced a number of negative trends including physical deterioration of the community, crime, substance abuse, and high unemployment.
