Counties electing to participate in the programs provide supervised independent living housing and support services. The letter of intent is due 10/15! [Download]

Errata to ACL 07-09: Correction Implementation Of Assembly Bill 1633 (9/11/07)
This corrects the error in ACL 07-09, which said that 18 year old foster youths could participate in a GED program less than full time basis and still meet Aid Foster Care requirements. Wrongo. The youth MUST be in the GED program full time. The County Welfare Department (CWD) is to verify only full time attendance. Full-time enrollment is defined by the school or program. It is not the duty or function of the CWD to check on the school’s or program’s standards or definitions in this area. [Download]
