The agency has designed a Transition to Independent Living Continuum of services that incorporates varying levels of care for youth who are aging out of, who have aged out of and who have never been served by the system who are homeless or at risk for homelessness. The Agency has learned that the provision of services that can flex according to individual as well as target population needs is more adaptive to the varying developmental and life stage needs of older youth and young adults. Because services are set up as a continuum, youth can enter and exit from any of the placement levels.  If a youth needs to be pulled back temporarily into a more structured setting the continuum allows for that flexibility.  The agency provides twenty-four (24) slots which serve youth for up to eighteen (18) months.
