This research is an important research since a lot of changes need to be done in the
society today. There are many people rendered homeless due to lack of proper running of the
societal obligations. For instance, the society may be considered to have failed when a person is
rendered homeless due to injustice, or selfishness of some other people. This research is
therefore determined to point out the major sources of error in foster care, and other forms of
out-of-home placements.
When children are in foster care, they are supposed to get provided with casework, proper
treatment, and communal services. This is all aimed to make a difference between a society with
foster care and a society without them. Also, it is among the rights of the children to be given
permanent homes to cater for their needs whenever necessary (Virginia Department of Social
Services Child and Family Services, 2016). On the contrary, people who pass through foster care
have a different story to tell. Some were satisfied with their new families whereas some think the
new families were not good enough. To be more specific, this research also shows the ways that
the society fails to play its role in making a more successful generation. Sometimes, children
from foster homes are rendered homeless due to lack of permanent homes.
There are two programs that are given to the children in foster homes namely, fostering
futures, and independent living. These programs are meant to have these foster children to get
the ability to survive outside foster homes on their own. For this reason, these programs are most
effective when children in foster homes are at the verge of aging out of these foster homes.
However, there are many youths that did not get far enough after coming out of foster homes and
completing the programs successfully. Therefore, this research has deemed to discuss on more
effective ways of preparing youths from foster homes, so they cannot contribute to the number of
Foster children, just like other children, require a lot of protection and support in their
day-to-day life. The foster system, on the contrary, happens to have many flaws, that impact the
children directly. Most of the children they hold do not have parents and family support, making
them think on their own. Such a situation especially during teenage can cause a lot of harm to an
individual. Temptations for teenage foster children to divert towards the wrong paths are all over.
Sometimes, these children are likely to make poor decisions in their early adulthood, which is
not their fault completely. Therefore, this essay also touches on the ways that the foster systems
can try to achieve better outcomes from the children they save from homelessness (Jones, 2019,
p. 262).
Being a homeless youth is a dangerous position people find themselves in. Sometimes,
these homeless youths find themselves in street fights, criminal records, etc., even without valid
reasons. This paper also focuses attention on the implications of being homeless today. These
implications can be used to air the voice of the homeless, who feel that most of their rights are
being violated, whereas the powerful people in the country are silent.
Finally, the paper is aimed at achieving more desirable outcomes out of the foster homes
and other forms of placements. However, with the facts well drawn from this essay, it is easy to
determine that there are several key players in youthful homelessness. Therefore, this paper
intends to dig deeper to determine who among the key players is failing the most towards
eradication of homelessness, and the likelihood of the homelessness being inherent. Poverty
being one of the major issues, it has become a distractor in most of the sectors that try to improve
the economy of most of the countries. In the same way, poverty has been an obstacle in the
ability for the foster homes to provide the best life for all children. This is because the rate of
homelessness is increasing leaving foster homes carrying the most children they can, hence
