Transitional Living Program (TLP)

All youth need a safe stable living environment to grow and thrive.

NEKYS Transitional Living Program (TLP) is a voluntary program for local youth who are 16-21 and are homeless or who are at risk of becoming homeless. The program’s goal is to provide the essential support services that youth need to make a successful transition to independent, self-sufficient adults.

NEKYS Transitional Living Program (TLP):

• Provides weekly case management and individualized service planning.
• Assists youth in securing safe and stable housing.
• Connects youth to appropriate resources as needed, such as mental health and substance misuse treatment.
• Improves life skills, such as money management, interpersonal skills, healthy meal preparation, the ability to understand a lease and how to perform common household tasks.
• Helps youth explore and pursue employment and educational goals.
• Provides financial support, on a limited basis, toward rent and other essentials for youth who already have their own apartment.
