iFoster Phones for Foster Youth - UPGRADE TO PERMANENCY!
The iFoster Phones for Foster Youth program is now a permanent benefit for every CA foster youth age 13 to 26. A first step to permanency is upgrading the program to T-Mobile's 5G network and a better service plan - unlimited voice, text and high speed data with 10GB of hotspot capability. All foster youth with an iFoster phone will be moved to 5G by November, 2021 and the old network will be turned off!

Chafee Pandemic Relief
iFoster is working with CA Dept of Social Services (CDSS) to help ensure that all eligible CA foster youth receive their Chafee pandemic relief funds. If you have applied and have not received your funds or there are issues with what you have received, please complete the Chafee Issue section and we will follow-up with CDSS to resolve.
