The Independent Living Program (ILP) for Foster Youth in Leesburg, GA, is dedicated to empowering young adults as they transition from foster care to independent living. Ivy Houses provides a nurturing environment where participants aged 18-21 can access essential services such as residential housing, basic necessities, and comprehensive support in developing independent living skills, financial literacy, and job readiness. Our program not only fosters health and well-being but also ensures that participants can remain within our supportive community for up to three years, culminating before their 21st birthday. The first year of the program is free, and subsequent years involve a modest contribution towards rent and utilities, which is ultimately returned as savings upon exiting the program. We encourage foster youth to explore this opportunity by coordinating with their case managers for a referral and can offer transportation for those living outside Albany, making it easier for them to embark on this essential journey toward self-sufficiency.
