An Assessment of Resources to Support Transitioning Youth (2010)

In order to develop a sound transition plan to effectively assist young people leaving foster care, state and community leaders need a clear understanding of the full breadth of resources that young people require as they transition to adulthood. This assessment tool seeks to help states and communities determine areas of strength in which there are adequate resources to support transitioning youth and areas in which additional services and supports need to be developed to meet the needs of young people.

This assessment tool guide was developed in collaboration with FosterClub, a national network for youth in foster care, who has developed a planning toolkit to help states implement the youth-directed transition plan mandated by Fostering Connections.
