The Youth Navigator Network (YNN) is excited to announce the addition of YNN Flex Funds. These funds are available to young adults aged 21-22 who have aged out of foster care, and are designed to address key, one-time financial needs. Examples of eligible uses for YNN Flex Funds include things like housing application fees/security deposits, work uniforms/tools, school textbooks/lab expenses, and more.

YNN Flex Funds are intended to be used only after other funding sources and resources have been exhausted, providing financial support for expenses not covered by traditional support systems. Importantly, YNN Flex Funds have been introduced to help to reduce barriers that have the potential to adversely impact a young adult’s transition to adulthood and independent living.
