Quotes

Officials only, in order.

Welcome to our Oversight Commission. May is Foster Care Awareness Month and it’s Mental Health Awareness Month. These recognitions are deeply connected to the work before us. We know that far too many young people who experience foster care involvement also face housing instability and homelessness, particularly as they transition to adulthood.Katie Albright · Chair3:12
It is our most vulnerable population. It is, you know, I’ve done some work with young people at Job Corps, and I can remember those young people saying that if if I didn’t have this program, I would be homeless.Dontaye Ball · Commissioner1:41:43

How we count

Each summary sentence is checked against the transcript before it is published; in a blind check, 99 of 100 sentences were right. A voice gets an official’s name only when two AI readers and a code check agree, so the minutes undercount and are not attendance. Officials only: members of the public are counted, never named, shown or quoted, and full transcripts aren’t published because they can carry their names. More on how we know
