Living independently in our Transition Age Youth Housing Program

TLC has four supportive housing programs. Transitioning to adulthood is hard for anyone, but can be especially challenging for our most vulnerable current or former foster youth as well as youth experiencing homelessness. TLC provides comprehensive mobile case management including employment, health and wellness, education, finance management, accessing resources, and navigating the ins-and-outs of independently living. We help transition age youth (ages 16-25) to rise up from foster care or living unsheltered successfully by providing a safe housing environment where they can learn and practice the life skills necessary to work on self-identified life goals while living independently. 

TLC partners with landlords and homeowners to provide safe apartments, granny units, room rentals, and homes throughout Sonoma County.

THPP-M

This program is a licensed foster care placement serving minors, age 16.5 until their 18th birthday. Many youth transition into the THPP-NMD program furthering their opportunities, affordable living,  and supportive resources. Requires an application by a county child welfare/social services department staff. TLC does welcome applications from non-Sonoma County youth.

THPP-NMD

Transitional Housing Program Placement for Non-Minor Dependents

This program is a licensed extended foster care placement for non-minor dependents who have chosen to remain in care to receive support services and who are aged between 18-21 years old. Requires an application by a county child welfare/social services department staff. TLC does welcome applications from non-Sonoma County youth.

THP-Plus

Transitional Housing Program for former foster youth ages 18-25

This program offers a max of 36  months of housing and support services. This program requires an application by a child welfare/social services department staff, an ILP worker, or the youth themselves. Verification of former foster care status is required.
