The New York City Administration for Children’s Services will take steps to insure that children aging out of foster care will have suitable housing once they are discharged, under a proposed settlement announced yesterday.
If approved, the settlement will avert the litigation of a putative class action suit that the Legal Aid Society, Lawyers for Children and Davis Polk & Wardwell filed this week in Manhattan Supreme Court, D.B. v. Richter, 402159-2011. The settlement agreement will be presented to Acting Supreme Court Justice Geoffrey D. Wright.
