All foster youth, age 16 and older, are required to have their strengths and needs relating to Independent Living assessed.

 

The custodian, in collaboration with the Child and Family Team, will assess the Independent Living Strengths and Needs, of those youth, age 16 and older, which have not been identified as “likely to age out of care”, thus are not participating in the Regional Independent Living Program. The Strengths and Needs Assessment, currently being completed as part of the Single Plan of Care Document will be utilized. Custodians have the option of completing an Ansel-Casey Assessment to assist them with determining the youth’s needs. The youth’s Independent Living needs will be incorporated into the Single Plan of Care.
