Morning Headlines: Aged Out Foster Youth Struggle to Find Housing, City Delays Trash Zone Reform, and Wildfire Smoke Impacts Air Quality

from NYC NOW · host WNYC

A new report shows nearly a third of foster youth who aged out of New York City’s system last year couldn’t secure housing and had to remain in care past age 21. Meanwhile, city officials say long-promised reforms to the private trash hauling industry won’t be fully in place until 2027. Plus, wildfire smoke is affecting air quality today, with health officials urging vulnerable groups to limit outdoor activity. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
