Providing Stability for Success: Identifying Housing Resources for Non-Minor Dependents
As a youth enters adulthood, it is important for them to have stability in their lives. Housing is an essential component to assist in providing one with a sense of security, so they are able to better concentrate on their goals to prepare for the real world. This session, presented by the John Burton Advocates for Youth, will provide an overview of the various housing supports in California available for current and former probation foster youth. These resources include extended foster care for youth ages 18-21 with out-of-home placement orders, and housing programs and vouchers for former probation youth up to age 24. Attendees will also be familiarized with the state’s homelessness response system and the role of local Continuums of Care (CoC).

Being Gender Responsive: How do You Know if You Are?
Statistics show a staggering over-representation of LGBT/GNCT youth in the juvenile justice system. Recognizing this within your own county may be difficult since data is not always readily available. Responding to youth’s gender when they haven’t shared their gender identity is close to impossible. How do you engage youth? How do you support families struggling with understanding what it means for their child to identify as LGBQ/GNCT? What rights do LBGQ and GNCT foster youth have that you need to be sure to recognize and support? This session will give a broad overview of the available data on LGBT/GNCT youth in the juvenile justice system – including youth who have crossed over from the child welfare system; and highlight effective engagement strategies for working with these youth and their families recognizing the added challenges and discrimination they face.
