Listen Later

In this episode, Lynn Tonini interviews Barbara Sabol, Senior Advisor of Home Work USA in Lawrence, Kansas. At 85 years old, Barbara is helping to launch an intentional, tiny home community for youth aging out of foster care that is designed to help give them a safe, affordable housing option so that they can get their adult lives started with a greater sense of security. Their community is being built on 22 rural acres and will have 15 tiny homes available for rent soon (they have 10 now). They will house young people aged 18 to 26 years old. Lynn and Barbara also discuss bigger picture improvements of the foster care system, including improved communication with youth, preparing them for adulthood earlier, and ensuring that caseworkers have a reasonable case load.
