The Board of Supervisors voted Aug. 6 to expand its “Breathe'' guaranteed-income program to provide financial stipends to more than 2,000 non-minor dependents in the foster care system.
In addition to the stipends, the foster dependents will also have access to career and education counseling, financial empowerment training, housing and other programs as recommended by the Department of Consumer and Business Affairs’ Center for Financial Empowerment.
