Transitional Independent Living - The FLITE Center
Adolescents who come of age in the foster care system are at a severe disadvantage when it comes to achieving successful independence, becoming involved in the criminal justice system at disproportionately high rates, and depending on welfare, or even becoming homeless. The League is poised to make a dramatic impact in our community's ability to deliver these transitional independent living skills to its foster youth.
