The Independent Living Program
Are you a foster youth or probation youth between the ages of 18-21 and you are homeless or at risk of being homeless? Do you know what it is like to live on your own in a safe and supportive home environment? Well, you might be interested in the Independent Living Program Transitional Housing Program (ILP THP). This program will provide you with an opportunity to live in an apartment in the community while getting support from a team of individuals that will help you with your independent living skills goals. You will learn the skills to become self-sufficient by the time you exit this program. This program has some beds specifically set aside for those with mental health needs, and those services are built into the program. Your DCFS and/or Probation case will have to be closed prior to you entering this housing program.
