The Chafee Independent Living Program is located within each of the eight regions throughout the state. The program is state-supervised and administered by a county and/or private provider agency.  Regional Chafee Independent Living Programs are responsible for providing programming to all eligible foster care youth within the region, regardless of the county the youth resides in.

 

The Chafee IL Coordinator from the region in which the custodian is located, is responsible for providing programming to eligible youth, regardless of the location of the youth’s placement. However, if a transfer from one region to another would be in the best interest of the youth, a Chafee case transfer between regions may occur. This is to be determined by the Chafee IL Coordinators.
