Offers voluntary support to Iowa youth ages 17 up to 23 who have aged out of foster care or other court-ordered placements. Aftercare services address both the immediate needs and long-term goals of these young people as they strive to become self-sufficient adults.

Youth can begin planning through Pre-Aftercare services several months prior to aging out. At age 17, they can meet with an Aftercare Self-Sufficiency Advocate to explore their options, set goals, overcome barriers, and develop skills for success.

Services include:

- Creating a self-sufficiency plan.

- Securing safe housing.

- Accessing emergency financial help.

- Finding healthcare providers.

- Pursuing college or job training.

- Connecting with mentors and community resources.

- Receiving a monthly housing stipend (PAL-eligible youth).
