Children’s Home Society is here to help you build a strong foundation for your future. We work with the Florida Department of Children and Families to make sure teens in foster care have the support, guidance, and resources they need to succeed. Our team is all about helping you reach your goals—whether that’s finishing school, learning life skills, or planning for independence. We believe in you and are here to walk alongside you every step of the way.
The Independent Living Program under the Department of Children and Families (DCF) is a dynamic initiative designed to empower youth transitioning out of foster care to achieve self-sufficiency. This comprehensive program offers a wealth of services and resources to guide these young individuals through the complexities of adulthood. Key components of the program include:
Life Skills Training: Equipping youth with essential skills such as budgeting, cooking, and job searching.
Educational Support: Assisting with completing high school, enrolling in college, or pursuing vocational training.
Employment Services: Offering help with finding and maintaining employment.
Housing Assistance: Supporting youth in finding and securing safe and stable housing.
Health and Wellness: Ensuring access to healthcare services and counseling.
This program is dedicated to fostering independence and success for youth as they embark on their journey into adulthood.
