Transition Planning Assistance - Texas Foster Youth Justice Project

Regional PAL staff should provide important transitional services for youth who are still in foster care. Someone from the PAL program, often called a PAL staff or PAL coordinator, should be available to assist you and your caseworker as you prepare to transition. Regional PAL staff do the following and more:

Participate in transition planning;
Explain your foster youth benefits;
Assist in identifying and accessing regional educational opportunities;
Provide employment and housing resources;
Help with problems getting identification documents; and
Provide guidance in applying for higher education programs and financial aid.
