Supervised Independent Living (SIL) Contracted Providers

Supervised Independent Living (SIL) is a voluntary Extended Foster Care placement where young adults live on their own, while still getting casework and support services to help them become independent and self-sufficient.

These SIL contracted providers serve all young adults in foster care in Texas, no matter where they are from or where the contractors are located.
For definitions of the settings, see Types of SIL Settings.
Young adults must be accepted to the college or university to enter campus-based SIL.

Note: SIL referrals in CBC areas must receive initial approval from the DFPS SIL Coordinator before referring to the CBC provider.
