Youth who are incarcerated are not eligible for Chafee Services or funds. If the incarcerated youth was previously in foster care and is in need of transitional services, they are eligible for the Current and/or Former Foster Youth Components of the Chafee services, as well as General Flex Funds, once the period of incarceration is completed and if they have not reached the age of 21.

 

Unless these youth meet the definition of “Aging Out of Foster Care” they are not eligible for Room and Board Flex Funds, or the Education and Training Voucher Program.
