Introduction to Services for Young Adults

The Department is committed to assisting older adolescents and young adults in their transition to independence and self-sufficiency. Services for young adults assist individuals transitioning from foster care to young adulthood. These services are provided under conditions agreed upon by both the Department and the young adult, and based upon the availability of resources. The Department will collaborate with the young adult to develop a plan for services that are individualized in accordance with a shared understanding of the young adult's needs. The Department will make reasonable efforts to provide an array of supports typically needed by young adults.
