Arizona Independent Living Program Services

About this resource

Independent Living Programs help current and former foster youth reach their independent living goals, providing services for education, employment, housing, budgeting and building a support network to assist youth as they transition to adulthood.

Eligibility

Services are available to youth in foster care who have been identified as "likely" to reach the age of 18 while in foster care, and to former foster youth living in Arizona, who are under 21 years of age, and were in a state or tribal foster care system at age 16 or older, or were adopted from a state foster care system at age 16 or older. The program providing these services is referred to as the Arizona Young Adult Program (AYAP) or Independent Living Program (ILP).
