'Building Blocks':  A Transitional Housing Program

Building Blocks is a Transitional Housing Program for emancipated foster youth (ages 18-21) who are homeless or at immediate risk of becoming homeless.  Participating youth are required to work full or part-time and may also attend school.

This Transitional Housing Program in collaboration with the County of Kern's Department of Human Services, provides motivated foster youth with apartment housing and offers them the opportunity to develop skills needed for successful transition into self-sufficiency.  Maximum residency for each youth is 18 months.
