THRIVE Independent Living Program

Services

The goal of THRIVE is to ensure youth who transition out of the foster care system will have stable housing and employment. While in the program, youth will have the opportunity to secure an apartment with our assistance and receive the following services:

• Staff support 24 hours a day
  
• Rental Assistance, including payment or advancement of security deposit
• Educational and vocational aid
• Daily visits from case managers
  
• Crisis Counseling
• Recreation and socializing opportunities and
  
• Life skills training
  

Intake: Enrollment into our program is for all youth in the DC or Maryland Foster care system. All potential participants must be employed or in school, as this is a least restrictive program for mature youth who can demonstrate the ability to live in the community with little supervision and who express an interest in strengthening their independent living skills.
