Fosterly

For young people aging out of foster care

No one should age out alone.

Tell your story once. Fosterly turns it into a plan, keeps your documents in one place that belongs to you, and does the legwork of getting you what you need. Nothing goes out without your say-so.

Coming soon to the App Store. Free, for ages 16 to 21, in Texas first.

Fosterly's Today screen: You don't have to figure this out alone. What do you need today? Somewhere safe to stay tonight, I feel sick, Help with my documents.
46%

of young people who age out of foster care experience homelessness by 26. The system hands a sixteen-year-old a complicated list and wishes them luck. Fosterly acts on their behalf instead.

Ask for what you need

It does the work. You make the call.

Tap "Somewhere safe to stay tonight" or say it in your own words. Fosterly finds verified Texas resources, writes the email to your caseworker, and lines up the call. Then it stops and waits for you.

  • You read every message before it goes anywhere.
  • Texts and calls open on your own phone.
  • It never says something was sent unless it was.

Life Plan

A roadmap that moves with you.

ID and documents, housing, health, school, benefits, work and money. See what's done, what's missing, who's helping and what comes next, kept current so you don't have to chase it.

The Life Plan screen: 68 percent ready, with six areas including housing, health and education.

Living File

Everything you need to prove who you are.

Your state ID, birth certificate, Social Security card and Medicaid card, in one place you own. Fosterly knows when each one expires and reminds you first. It goes with you through every move and every caseworker change, and it's locked with Face ID.

The Living File screen: 5 of 6 essentials on file, with shot records marked missing and a link for how to get them.

You decide who's in the room.

Add your caseworker, CASA volunteer, or another adult you trust, and choose exactly what each person sees. Remove someone and their link stops working right away.

Private by design.

No ads, and we never sell your information. AI only runs after you say yes, and you can turn it off and keep your plan, file and circle. Delete everything from Settings any time.
