Asset Options
Purchases can include a house, apartment deposit, health care, vehicle and education expenses.
This report shares select statistics and stories from the Opportunity Passport’s first five years. Readers will also learn how the program — developed by the Jim Casey Youth Opportunities Initiative — is connecting young people with essential financial opportunities as they transition from foster care.
Young people aging out of foster care often lack the basic financial skills necessary for economic success. Enter Opportunity Passport, which offers a matched savings account that gives these youth a critical chance to manage their finances, interact with the mainstream banking system and set aside money to purchase assets.
