The Independent Living Program (ILP) provides financial assistance to current and former foster/probation youth, 16-20 years of age. You may receive the help you need as a student in high school, college, or a vocational program. You may also qualify for services if you are working or need assistance with dorm or rent.

The Independent Living Program was initially authorized in 1985 Public Law PL 99-272. In January 1988, the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) established an administrative unit called Emancipation Services (now known as Youth Development Services Division) to implement and administer the Independent Living Program for youth in Los Angeles County, including probation youth. The Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 PL 103-66 permanently authorized the Independent Living Program effective October 1, 1992. The Foster Care Independence Act of 1999 established requirements and funding for foster youth services. Independent Living Program (ILP) financial assistance is authorized by the Federal Independent Living Program, and administered through the California Department of Social Services, and authorized by the Los Angeles County Auditor Controller. Available funds are based on the amount of money allocated to Los Angeles County by the State every fiscal year. These funds are augmented by other private and public sector monies and programs that serve the county's population of transitioning youth.

iFoster-Americorps is actively recruiting ILP eligible youth ages 17-20 for employment. This is a very unique employment model with current/former foster youth at selected host sites working exclusively with current/former foster youth as peer navigators. They will earn a living wage, a scholarship, vital training - including trauma informed and job readiness; as well as case management and supervision at the host sites. The added bonus is these young adults have the opportunity to pay it forward by helping their peers.

Please see the fliers for more information.
