Youth who are incarcerated are not eligible for the Chafee Independent Living Program services or funds. If the incarcerated youth was previously in foster care and is in need of transitional services, after their incarceration period they are eligible for consideration in the Current Foster Care Youth and/or Foster Care Alumni Components of Chafee.

 

For the purposes of flex funding and the ETV; youth who are no longer incarcerated and meet Chafee requirements are eligible for consideration for General Flex Funds. Youth must meet the definition of “aging out of foster care” to be eligible for Room and Board Flex Funds and the ETV.

 

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