For too many youth placed in foster care, the socio-emotional challenges of day-to-day living can make it difficult to plan for a successful future as an independent adult. Hillside’s Monroe County Transitional Services program provides focused supports to help eligible participants make meaningful progress toward their long-term goals.

About this Program

Hillside’s Monroe County Transitional Services program works with Monroe County youth in foster care ages 16-21 whose permanency planning goal is Alternative Planned Living Arrangement. The program focuses on helping individuals obtain the skills necessary to support a successful discharge from foster care, as well as making additional progress towards becoming independent young adults.

  • Finances and Money Management
