Summary of Request:
This Agreement provides tiered funding for Transitional Housing Program-Plus (THP-Plus), a program that offers supportive housing to approximately 9 eligible young adults per month who exited the foster care system at or after age 18. 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 up to 24 cumulative months between the ages of 18 and 24. Young adults may participate for 36 cumulative months up to age 25 if they are completing secondary education (or an equivalent program) or if they are enrolled in an institution providing postsecondary education. Redwood Community Services is the only agency in Mendocino County approved by the California Department of Social Services to provide THP-Plus.
