District of Columbia Foster Youth Bill of Rights

About this resource

Your rights in foster care can look a little different depending on where you live. Washington, DC has its own Bill of Rights to help explain what you should expect—like being treated with respect, getting health care, staying connected with family, having a say in your future, and getting the support you need.

Some parts might be confusing. If you want help understanding it, you can contact the Ombudsman.
