S2 E3 ‘Home was never a place’: One woman’s life in WA foster care⁠

  • サマリー

  • Janell Braxton spent much of the early 2000s in foster care. She moved between more than eight homes before the age of 21. After she exited foster care, Janell felt she wasn’t set up to take care of herself – she wasn’t taught to build a budget, pay her rent or apply for an apartment – and after a particularly traumatic experience she found herself staying on couches with friends and family.

    In the third of a three-part series on how public funds are being used to address youth homelessness in Washington state, Janell and her mother Debra tell their stories.

    Janell told journalists Sam Leeds and Elizabeth Whitman, “If my story can help anyone, just even one person, then that’s all that matters to me.”
