THP-Plus is a transitional housing program for young adults who exited foster care (including those supervised by the Juvenile Probation) on or after their 18th birthday. This program offers housing and supportive services for 36 cumulative months or until the age of 25, whichever comes first. The housing models and services offered are similar to those offered in THPP, but the rules of the program will be age appropriate for young adults. The goal of THP-plus is to provide a safe living environment, while helping participants develop the life skills needed to live independently. Established by Assembly Bill 1119 (Year 2002)
