*The California Fostering Connections to Success Act allows a youth to remain in a group home placement after age 18 and up to age 19 in order to promote educational stability. After the youth graduates from high school or an equivalent program (i.e. GED) or turns age 19, continuation in a group home is prohibited unless it is necessary due to a medical condition.
