A supplement to our Family-Based Services program, FCCY’s "On Target" Independent Living program is a tool used to assist foster parents in preparing young adults to live on their own. A program which involves continuous evaluation and planning with strong emphasis on the role of the foster parent, Independent Living is designed for young people age 15 and older and is based on three phases:

Phase One: Phase One covers basic living skills including goal setting, relationship building, and proper attention to one’s health.

Phase Two: Phase Two elaborates on the skills highlighted in Phase One and begins to cover topics like employment, finding and maintaining a living space, and money management.

Phase Three: Phase Three involves a real-life independent living arrangement and is reserved for young adults who have met the program’s established criteria.
