I began to wonder if foster care wasn't a crucible hidden in plain sight. I began to ask whether its failures might be an under-acknowledged factor driving mass homelessness, drug addiction, and property crimes.

Introduction
America's foster care system is in crisis.
Every year, thousands of young adults turn 18 and are cut off from the system that provides them with shelter and food. Before then, many children suffer in silence within a system that provides them with no love, support, or community.
But why has this system, built for care, descended into chaos, and how can we save America's most vulnerable?
In Wards of the State, journalist and researcher Claudia Rowe examines these issues.
Delving into groundbreaking research and personal testimonies, Rowe looks at the influence of foster care on rates of poverty, crime, and homelessness, and how these damning trends can be reversed.
