President Trump will sign an executive order Thursday afternoon aimed at boosting resources for the foster care system, primarily for teenagers who are aging out.
First lady Melania Trump, who will join the president, secured a $25 million investment in the fiscal 2026 budget request that would provide housing and support for youth transitioning out of the system, according to the White House.
She has made initiatives for children a major component of her platform since returning to office. Some of those efforts include calling out Russian President Vladimir Putin over the separation of kids from their parents in Ukraine, upgrades to her “Be Best” children’s health and wellness program and launching a contest for young people centered on innovation and the use of artificial intelligence in schools.
