Financial Impact

The bill authorizes $50,000,000 annually for fiscal years 2026 and 2027 to fund mentoring programs for children and youth with foster care experience. Additional funds may be appropriated in subsequent years. This funding would create business opportunities for eligible entities to apply for and manage these grants.
