As your mentee approaches adulthood, planning for the transition out of foster care can feel overwhelming. Knowing what resources are available ahead of time can make all the difference.
Thrive AZ offers a faith-based transitional housing program for young adults ages 18–24 who have aged out of, or previously experienced, the foster care system. The one-year program provides more than just housing—it helps participants build the skills needed for long-term independence through employment support, life skills development, financial responsibility, and guidance toward self-sufficiency in a supportive, drug- and alcohol-free environment.
If your mentee is nearing their 18th birthday and may benefit from transitional housing, speak with their caseworker about submitting a referral to Thrive AZ. You can also connect with your mentee’s Aged Out Coordinator to discuss whether this program may be a good fit.
