Foster Children Need – and Deserve – Continuing Support | Transitional Housing Program in Yuba County

When moving from childhood to adulthood, everyone needs support. It’s simply a difficult stage of life, even if all of the possibilities make it exciting at the same time. For most young people, the support they receive comes from their parents, whether it is in the form of a place to live or some extra money in the bank. That option is not typically available for foster youth who are reaching the age of 18 and leaving the system. Without such a safety net, the Transitional Housing Program in Yuba [...]

Starting Early for Adult Success| Transitional Housing Placement Program in Yuba City CA

It would benefit all children to start thinking about adult life a little earlier than they do. Caught up in the busyness of high school, many young people don’t think much about what they do as adults until late in senior year when the reality of graduation is staring them in the face. This can work out in some cases, but for many – including foster youth – it’s best to start making plans a little earlier. Those in the foster system can benefit from using the Transitional Housing Placement [...]

Serving Your Community and More | Benefits of Renting to Children First THP Program

For some landlords, there is a bit of hesitation when it comes to renting to transitional housing programs for young adults.

With a better understanding of the benefits of renting to the Children First THP Program, most landlords are happy [...]

Homelessness – and Even Jail – Can Await Former Foster Youth | Transitional Housing Placement Program in Sacramento County

When you imagine the foster care system, you might picture a progression where a young person lives with resource parents until their 18th birthday, at which time they strike out on their own and begin to build a life as an independent adult. That’s a nice vision, but sadly, it is often far from reality. In the real world, it’s hard to build a life at 18 years old, and many young people who age out of the foster system wind up either homeless or in jail. To help cut [...]
