Ohio recently lost its TANF-Independent Living allocation. This happened at the same time that driving requirements were increased.
We’ve been researching how other states support foster youth, when it comes to driver’s education, driver’s licenses and car insurance.
In the meantime, the federal Foster Youth and Driving Act would create state and tribal programs providing up to $4,000 per year per youth for driver’s education, training, insurance, licensing fees, and related costs.
But this federal bill has not yet been reintroduced in 2026. OHIO YAB Youth Ambassadors have been participating in virtual meetings to seek to raise interest in making that happen.
