­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­ About ILP

 

The Independent Living Program (ILP) of Georgia's MISSION is to provide eligible foster youth
ages 14-25 with opportunities to successfully transition to adulthood.

 

ILP accomplishes this by offering supportive services that will aid youth in successfully transitioning
towards self-sufficiency.   Programs & resources are for youth in-care & after-care.

 

The ultimate GOAL is for youth to develop self supporting skills, acquire sufficient education & training to become
competitive career seekers, maintain appropriate housing, receive sufficient health services & develop supportive relationships.  

 

Via the Foster Care Independence Act & the Chafee Foster Care Independence Program, ILP has recently
been able to increase funding to help youth transition from foster care to self-sufficiency.
