Transitional Housing Program | Children First Foster Family Agency

THP NMD provider in Yuba County | A Good Start in a Bad Situation

It is the goal of the foster system in the state of California to make the best of a difficult situation for children who are without a stable family life. This is obviously a challenging experience for a young person, but good foster parents can go a long way toward helping the child get through it and remain focused on a brighter future.

Playing the Role of Parent | Transitional Housing Placement Program

For young people who have a stable home life, their parents play an important role in how they get started as adults. Even if they move out of the home sometime after they turn 18 – to go off to college or to take a job – their parents tend to continue to offer extensive support and guidance. That support might be financial, or it might just come in the form of advice and help to make good decisions. Foster youth who age out of the system don’t have that [...]

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.

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

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. We have found that this hesitation stems from a lack of information about what the transitional housing program is, how it is supported, and what Children First FFA can provide to make sure the experience is a positive one for both the landlord and the youth living in an apartment.

What Happens When Foster Youth Graduate From High School? | THP in Sutter County

For children who have the benefit of stable family life, the end of high school is often an exciting time. They may be heading off to college, pursuing career opportunities close to home, or anything in between.
