Collaborations with Transition Centers
Transition centers provide a central clearinghouse of services to meet the needs of current and former foster youth, homeless youth, and other at-risk youth. PAL and CPS caseworkers refer young adults to Transition Centers within their regions for additional assistance.
Services include employment assistance, training, educational support, access and referrals to community partners and resources, and various transitional living services such as PAL classes, job search and job readiness classes, food and housing assistance, and substance abuse/mental health counseling. Transition Centers also provide co-location opportunities for local partners such as local Workforce Solutions offices, community colleges, and universities.
