4.7 Transitional Living Programs for Youth: What Works
Transitional Living Programs (TLPs) are critical in providing necessary services for runaway and homeless youth. This workshop will examine how TLPs can improve the housing, economic, and social outcomes of unaccompanied homeless youth. It will explore a variety of TLP models including congregate, scattered-site, and transition-in-place strategies, as well as services that promote positive development, education, and employment. Presenters will discuss strategies to improve program outcomes through enhancing data collection and analysis, expanding housing options, and reducing barriers to TLPs for youth.
