The two Independent Living programs (Supportive Housing & Transitional Living) provide services for homeless youth and youth who have aged out of foster care, ages 18-21. Services are provided in off-campus apartments 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Youth are provided life-skills training, academic support, job training and employment support, parent education for teen parents, and access to community resources. Additionally, the program provides aftercare servces for up to one year. These are the only such programs in Southeast Georgia for this population.
Transitional Living Program:
For youth ages who are without support of family and/or other caretakers. Youth entering this program may have aged out of foster care or other social service programs, and are without a permanent place to live or are homeless.
Supportive Living Program:
This program serves strictly homeless youth. The program also assists young teen mothers who have one child under the age of five years. These young mothers receive child care, parenting skills, child directed nutritional education and linkage to other resources.
