Foster youth across California will now be able to attend college, free of charge, after new legislation, SB 307, was signed into the state budget Monday.

    This just makes sense. Probably a lot of history to show that foster kids go downhill once they age out. Giving them a path, via paid for college, to transition into stable adulthood should help a lot.

    I support access to free college for everyone. Until we can get there, this is a good step.

    This could encourage people to foster too. One concern folks might have is they could afford to care for them but not help them with things like this.
