HISTORY

2005
TLC began serving 16 - 19 year old foster children who were planning to leave the foster care system and live independently. The Transitional Housing Placement Program (THPP) finds private homes with a room to rent or apartments. Each youth receives funding for rent, food, utilities, clothing, entertainment, and savings.

2007
TLC modified its name to TLC Child & Family Services to reflect our commitment to the entire family system. TLC also began working with young adults (ages 18 - 24 years) who were formally in the foster care system. The Transitional Housing Program Plus (THP-Plus) provides housing and employment skills to former foster children who are homeless, parenting, or leaving higher level of care facilities.

2008
Fostering Connections is a unique community program offered by TLC that started in January 2008. Through this program, any foster child or youth who is or has been in foster care has access to mental health and behavioral services by trained clinicians at no cost to themselves or their families.
