I am a former foster youth. Am I still eligible for services from the Independent Living Program?
Aftercare services are available to the following youth up to their 21st birthday:
• Youth who were in foster care after their 16th birthday and whose dependency/wardship was terminated and/or CWS or Probation case has been closed.
• Youth who were in foster care or adjudicated a ward of the court or court ordered dependency after their 16th birthday and are no longer in foster care because they have been reunited with their families and are receiving Family Maintenance programs services.
• Youth who were in a legal guardianship (established after their 8th birthday) and the guardianship was dissolved by the guardian or terminated the court.
• Youth who leave foster care or legal guardianship to live independently following emancipation or reaching age of majority.

The ILP Aftercare Program continues to offer support and assistance to youth who have left the foster care system to help them make the transition into independent living.
