Fresno County ILP

The initial federal funding allowed for ILSP services to be made available.

In 1986, the federal government launched the Independent Living Program to enable state child welfare agencies to meet the needs of youth preparing to emancipate from foster care. The Independent Living Program (ILP) is a federally mandated program, which receives both federal and state funding. The Independent Living Program was established to assist youth with the supportive services and skills necessary to transition from the foster care system to self-sufficiency.
