About 19 and Homeless
In British Columbia, young people in foster care “age out” of the child welfare system when they turn 19. Ready or not, they are left to fend for themselves as adults, and are disproportionately at risk of experiencing adverse outcomes such as substance use issues, homelessness, and mental health struggles.
19 and Homeless is a 2020 film directed by Maureen Palmer. Released in June 2020, it runs 84 minutes.
