In this episode, Lynn Tonini interviews Aundre' Wright, Co-Founder and CEO of Adonai Transitional Housing in Phoenix, Arizona. Aundre' explains his organization's history and partnership with the state of Arizona to provide transitional housing for young adults in the extended foster care program. Their housing options include four homes and one apartment complex (two triplexes) in various locations. (They use one of the apartments in the triplexes for foster youth and the rest they rent out to the public, which provides an income for the program.) Lynn and Aundre' also discuss a couple of opportunities for improving how the system prepares youth for aging out of care.
