Independent Living Regional Meetings

The Ohio Department of Children and Youth (DCY) Independent Living & Transition Age Youth policy team will be holding five in-person regional meetings. These meetings aim to share updates on policies and programs updates related to independent living and services for transition-age youth in foster care, aged 14-21.

Agenda items for the Regional Meetings will cover updates on the relevant Ohio Administrative Code, credit report requirements, and the National Youth in Transition Database. Discussions will also encompass the use of Independent Living funding, the concept of normalcy, and strategies for final transition planning. Additionally, the meetings will offer a chance for participants to network with colleagues and service providers from Bridges, the Youth Navigator Network, and Ohio’s Education and Training Voucher team.

• Meetings are scheduled from 9:30 am - 3:30 pm. Register early as meeting space is limited.
