Who we empower

The South Georgia Transitional Living Center is dedicated to empowering young adults aged 18–24 who are ready to build a foundation for independence. Our program offers the support, structure, and stability needed to achieve self-sufficiency.

We are here to help young adults who:

  • Have aged out of foster care
  • Are homeless or unstably housed
  • Have little to no family support
  • Desire guidance as they transition into independent adulthood

These are motivated individuals who may have lacked consistent housing, life-skills training, or supportive adults, and are now seeking to navigate adulthood successfully.

Are you eligible?

To be considered for the South Georgia Transitional Living Center, a young adult should meet the following criteria:

  • Be between the ages of 18 and 24
  • Have aged out of foster care
  • Be homeless or at risk of homelessness
  • Be willing to participate in:
    • Case management
    • Life-skills training
    • Employment or education planning
  • Be open to living in a structured, supportive environment focused on growth.

Your application journey

The application process for the South Georgia Transitional Living Center is designed to be clear and supportive. Here are the main steps:

  1. Initial interest or referral: A young adult or a referring partner (such as DFCS, ILP, a case manager, or community organization) reaches out to express interest. This is the first step in starting a conversation about support and eligibility.
  2. Basic eligibility screening: We confirm that the applicant is between 18–24 years old, has aged out of foster care, is homeless or unstably housed, and is interested in working toward independence in a structured environment.
  3. Intake conversation: If basic eligibility is met, we schedule a conversation to learn more about the young adult’s goals, needs, and readiness for a transitional living program. This helps ensure the program will be supportive and beneficial.
  4. Program expectations review: Applicants are walked through program expectations, including participation in case management, life-skills training, employment or education planning, and a structured living environment.
