NH DHHS NO Programs for youth leaving foster care!

Yet, Here they are scrounging up a 100 kids from foster care to 

NH DHHS - New Hampshire Foster Youth Convene For Independent Living Conference

......The University of New Hampshire Center for Professional

Excellence in Child Welfare (UNH CPE) will coordinate with FosterClub to

provide youth attendees with lessons and information on how to obtain a

college degree or educational certificate, finding permanency, earning and

budgeting money, being a self-advocate, self-awareness and avoiding

dangerous relationships. FosterClub will also present their signature

event, Independence City, a “life on your own” simulation game designed to

teach young people how to access community resources to help overcome

obstacles they will encounter as they transition into adulthood. .......

So Ms. Bishop, these services should be provide to every child in foster care why is the money you receive for this always zero on the expense line? 

America should be doing more for their youth; but with people like Mags Bishop lining their own pockets in New Hampshire it will hardly happen.
