Why This Work Matters
Transitional housing programs with coaching and case management are essential for transition-aged foster youth as they bridge the critical gap between foster care and independent living. These programs provide a stable and supportive environment where youth can develop the life skills needed for self-sufficiency, such as financial literacy, education planning, and employment readiness. Coaching offers personalized guidance, helping youth navigate challenges, set goals, and build confidence, while case management ensures access to resources like mental health services, healthcare, and community connections. By addressing both immediate needs and long-term development, these programs reduce the risk of homelessness, unemployment, and other adverse outcomes, empowering foster youth to thrive in adulthood.
