  • Summary

  • When Daniel Lugo was preparing to transition out of foster care around his 21st birthday, he looked for help figuring out how to cover his rent and other expenses once state payments stopped. Eventually, he reached a dead end.

    Later, as a legislative aide in Washington's House of Representatives, that experience inspired him to propose a "no-wrong-door access point" for young people in similar situations, like exiting foster care, the juvenile justice system, or in-patient behavior health treatment.

    In the first of a three-part series, journalists Sam Leeds and Elizabeth Whitman trace Lugo's idea through the legislative process and into reality.
