2. Youth is 16 years of age or older, and
3. Youth has been identified as “likely to age out of foster care”, and
4. Youth agrees to be an active participant.

The Regional IL Coordinator and the Custodian will work collaboratively to ensure that these youth are enrolled in the Program.   However, it is the Custodian’s responsibility to initiate the referral.
