Youth, over the age of 16, who enter Guardianship post discharge from foster care, are eligible for consideration in the Chafee Independent Living Program as a Foster Care Alumni Priority 2.

 

Flex funding and ETV: youth who enter Guardianship are eligible for General Flex Funds. However youth are not eligible for Room and Board Flex Funds or the ETV as they did not "age out of foster care."

 

Chafee IL Coordinator’s will verify youth eligibility and priority status according to policy, funding guidelines, youth’s individualized needs, and availability.
