The purpose of this Local Commissioners Memorandum is to clarify Department policy regarding the provision of housing services as a mandated preventive service to discharge a foster care youth to independent living, including foster care children over the age of 18. It is our policy that any child in Trial Discharge status, including those over 18, may receive the full range of preventive services, including housing services, if the services are intended to avert the child's placement in a foster care home or facility.
