Teen Program

What is the Transitional Housing Placement Plus Program?

Mountain Circle is contracting with Plumas and Lassen counties to provide the Innovative Transitional Housing Placement-PlusProgram (THP-Plus). This program recognizes
that young adults who are emerging from the foster care system, need to continue learning Independent Living Skills (ILS).

It will allow young adults who are in the program the opportunity to gain valuable lifeskills while experiencing the greatest amount of freedom possible in order to prepare for independent life as a self-sufficient emancipated adult.

The program will facilitate a smooth transition for young adults while offering support, training and guidance.

This is provided through a Community Home Model, with an on-site live-in Case Manager/Youth Advocate or Peer Counselor where young adults in the program rent a room at Point InspirationHouse, attend an educational program, have a job, savings and checking account and learn other independent living skills (i.e. laundry, cooking, budgeting, paying bills, grocery shopping and healthy living).

Mountain Circle is looking for young adults who are willing to be involved in this rewarding Program. If you are interested please contact us.
