Aging Out Guide

Finding a Place to Live

Once you leave foster care, you will need your own place to live. There are a number of programs and resources to help you in this transition.

Section 811: Rental Assistance for Aged Out Foster Youth with Disabilities

The Section 811 Project Rental Assistance (PRA) program is a long-term rental assistance program available in certain metropolitan areas for aged out foster youth who have a disability. Individuals who are eligible for the program may remain in their apartment at least until age 62 if they choose, so it is an excellent option for those who would benefit from the stability of long-term housing.

For assistance in applying for the program, contact your regional youth housing liaison.

See additional information about Section 811 here.
