Summary of Request:
This Agreement provides tiered funding for Transitional Housing Program-Plus (THP-Plus), a program that offers supportive housing to approximately nine eligible young adults per month who exited the foster care system at or after age eighteen. These youth would otherwise be homeless and need assistance developing skills that will allow them to become independent and self-sufficient. Eligible former foster youth are able to participate in the program for up to twenty-four cumulative months between the ages of eighteen and twenty-four. Young adults may participate for thirty-six cumulative months up to age twenty-five if they are completing secondary education (or an equivalent program) or if they are enrolled in an institution providing postsecondary education. Redwood Community Services, Inc., is the only agency in Mendocino County approved by the California Department of Social Services to provide THP-Plus.
