Children, Youth and Families Department

Syruss has been in foster care for several years and has experienced multiple placements before aging out of the system. Despite this transition, he continues to receive support from the state to help him adjust to independent living. Recently, Syruss graduated from high school and began an internship. He performed so well that the business offered him full-time employment. Now, Syruss is eager to live on his own and has secured a place to do so. Although he has faced many challenges in his life, he works hard not to let them affect him negatively. Syruss is also interested in learning a trade, such as welding or mechanics.

Syruss is excited to have recently secured his very first studio apartment, a space that he takes great pride in. However, he quickly realized that the limited square footage presents a challenge. To make the most of his new home, Syruss is eager to hang his TV on the wall. This way, he can maximize his living area and create a more efficient use of space.
