Aged-out Youth

Cuyahoga County does everything possible to make sure children in our care find permanent, supportive homes before they turn 18 and "age out" of the foster care system.

But for young people who do age out, Cuyahoga County has assembled a network of programs and services to help ease the transition into adulthood.
