When Marlon Saechao tells his story, describing a childhood marred by addiction, instability and abandonment, he doesn’t cry until he gets to the part where he was briefly homeless as a young adult.

Saechao was 21 and struggling to finish college when he was kicked out of the house he was renting in San Jose. With no family to fall back on, he found himself sleeping in his car — a plight that’s disturbingly common among the thousands of young people in California who, like Saechao, have aged out of foster care.
