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.

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.

Support is the Key Ingredient in Adult Success | THP in Sutter County

It’s easy for adults to think that they are solely responsible for their own success.

Landing in the Right Place to Live | THP in Sutter County

When foster children age out of the system and need somewhere to live, they are often faced with few appealing choices. It’s hard to earn enough money to support yourself right after high school, and many foster children don’t even have the benefit of a high school diploma to lean on. As a result, the housing that many young people in this position find is jail. Incarceration rates are much higher for former foster children than the general population, and that is simply because they face such a challenge once [...]
