The purpose of this directive is to inform social services districts, voluntary authorized agencies and Indian tribes with a State/Tribal agreement of the newly enacted standards and procedures for the approval of an authorized agency by the Office of Children and Family Services (OCFS) to operate a supervised independent living program (SILP programs) for foster children. The directive will address both the transition of existing supervised independent living units certified by OCFS to supervised independent living units certified by approved SILP programs operated by authorized agencies and the establishment of new SILP programs and units.
