Record an Independent Living Plan

The agency provides independent living services for emancipated youth to achieve their goals for self sufficiency. You record an independent living plan for all youth in the custody of the agency who are 16 years of age and older. The plan documents any concerns and services planned or provided to help the youth become self sufficient.

An independent living plan may be edited if it is in "Pending" status, which describes a plan that has not yet begun. Once the youth has begun the activities to meet the goals stated in the plan, you update the status to "Active." You can change the status to "Active" or "Complete" when at least one independent living goal has been created for each requirement topic on the goals screen. Once the plan is in "Active" status, you cannot edit the basic plan information.
