Independent Living Services – Region 3

Overview:

The Independent Living Request for Proposal in Youth Services Region 3 is a competitive opportunity for private or public agencies, either individually or in partnership with others in the same service area, to provide independent living (IL) services to all eligible youth in Milwaukee County. This includes relationship-building with, outreach to, and participation in transition planning for youth discharging from court-ordered out-of-home care (OHC), as well as direct services to young adults aged 18-23 who already exited OHC. Direct services include, but are not limited to providing or coordinating assistance, services, connections, and referrals in the areas of education, employment, health and wellbeing, housing, permanent connections, and more. The IL program is intended to improve success, stability, wellbeing, and overall outcomes to young people with OHC experience.
