Non-Minor Dependent Housing Resources Toolkit

For Juvenile Probation Officers Assisting NMDs While in Care and in Transition

Developed in partnership with the Chief Probation Officers of California, this toolkit equips probation officers to help non-minor dependents (NMDs) secure stable housing—both during extended foster care and as they transition to adulthood. It breaks down available placement options alongside essential California housing supports, including housing vouchers, student housing, Medi-Cal-funded housing programs, affordable housing options, and strategies for navigating local homelessness response systems.
