Transitional Housing Placement Program for Minor Foster Children (THPP-M)
The THPP-M is a type of foster care placement for minors between the ages of 16 and 18 years old. The goal of THPP-M is to help participants emancipate successfully by providing a safe environment for youth, while learning skills that can promote self-sufficiency. Participants may live alone, with departmental approval, or with roommates in apartments or single-family dwellings, where a staff member from the housing provider lives on-site to provide supervision and assistance. Supportive services include, educational guidance, employment counseling, and assistance reaching emancipation goals outlined in a participant’s Transitional Independent Living Plan, the emancipation readiness portion of a youth’s case plan. The youth are encouraged to participate in the Independent Living Program.
Transitional Housing Program-Plus (THP-Plus)
THP-Plus is a transitional housing program for young adults who exited foster care (including those supervised by the Juvenile Probation) on or after their 18th birthday. This program offers housing and supportive services for 36 cumulative months or until the age of 25, whichever comes first. The housing models and services offered are similar to those offered in THPP, but the rules of the program will be age appropriate for young adults.
The goal of THP-plus is to provide a safe living environment, while helping participants develop the life skills needed to live independently. The program’s goals are achieved by creating a Transitional Independent Living Plan (TILP) with the participant. The TILP is developed by the young adult and other supportive persons and assists in identifying and detailing the goals and objectives necessary to transition into adulthood.
HOUSING MODELS UNDER THP-PLUS
THPP-Plus providers can offer the following acceptable residential units:
- Apartments
- Single family dwellings
- Condominiums
- College dormitories
- Host family models
