Transitional Housing for In Care Youth

Together with three partner providers, ILSP runs the Transitional Housing Placement Program (THPP), which provides up to 26 apartments for pre-emancipation youth with three providers in the Oakland and Hayward area. The program provides a structured, supportive environment in which youth practice independent living skills prior to emancipation. Youth earn greater independence in THPP as they demonstrate responsibility and follow through on goals they set for themselves. THPP is open to pre-emancipation youth ages 16-19 who are active in ILSP. Application must be made through the ILSP Head Trainer.

Transitional Housing for Emancipated Youth

In partnership with community based supportive housing programs First Place for Youth, Beyond Emancipation, Project Independence, Bay Area Youth Centers (BAYC), Pivotal Point, and Catholic Charities of the East Bay CARE Youth Housing, ILSP offers transitional housing for emancipated youth in THP+. Youth must apply through the Beyond Emancipation Housing Director Jeff Lee at 510-261-4102, x24 or directly with the programs.
