Non-Minor Dependent (NMD) Housing Resources Toolkit for Juvenile Probation Officers: Assisting NMDs While in Care & In Transition

Last Updated Jan 26, 2021

This toolkit, developed in partnership with the Chief Probation Officers of California, is designed to assist probation officers working to support NMDs in their efforts to achieve housing stability, both while in extended foster care and as they transition into independent adulthood. The toolkit provides an overview of the placement options for NMDs, along with a description of the various housing supports and resources that exist in California for youth once they transition out of extended foster care. This includes housing programs and vouchers developed for this target population, in addition to services available through the local homelessness response systems and permanent affordable housing.
