Programs that Increase Employability for Current and Former Foster Youth
Federal regulation 7 CFR Section 273.5(b)(11) provides that a student is eligible for an exemption from the CalFresh student eligibility rule if the student’s attendance can be described as part of a program to increase the student’s employability. This includes programs specially targeted at current and former foster youth, such as the PATH Scholars Program at California State University, Chico.
