About TYPS

The Texas Youth Permanency Study (TYPS) builds evidence to better understand the realities of former foster youth entering young adulthood. We are finding new ways of understanding permanency that will create foundations for youth to thrive in young adulthood regardless of how they leave foster care. Sponsored by The Reissa Foundation and The Simmons Foundation.
