Transitional Housing Placement Program (THPP)
Redwood Community Services began offering housing opportunities to youth in foster care through THPP in 1997. This licensed program for youth 16-17 years old teaches independent living skills in a supported environment. Participants live in a host home with an adult who acts as a mentor. They receive a stipend to cover their basic costs of living and are assisted with developing a budget.
Transitional Housing Placement Program Plus (THP-Plus)
Youth who were in foster care on their 18th birthday are eligible to live in single or scattered site apartments or can be given a stipend to assist with rent costs in their own apartment.
Transitional Housing Placement Program Plus Foster Care (THPP-FC)
THPP-FC allows foster youth who reach age 18 to remain in foster care and receive foster care payment benefits as long as they meet eligibility requirements for AB12 extended foster care and participate in program’s expectations.
TAY Wellness
Youth are eligible by having a Full Service Partnership (FSP) approved by the county Mental Health Department. A FSP designates a client is eligible to access programs funded by the Mental Health Services Act due to a high level of need caused by their mental health diagnosis and need for extra support to keep them from hospitalization or jail. Participants live in a single site apartment complex owned by RCS. Serving young adults ages 18-24, the program partners with Behavioral Health Services to offer therapeutic support to assist participants learning to work with their mental health disorder and develop independent living skills.
