PAL services must be available to eligible youth regardless of the youth’s permanency goal, as there is no guarantee that the youth will achieve permanency before aging out of care.
PAL staff must provide or arrange for a PAL contract provider to provide appropriate services concurrently with efforts to achieve adoption or other permanency goals for the youth. The youth’s plan of service must address the types of services and activities to be provided.
PAL staff must provide youth and young adults with opportunities to design their own program activities. Youth and young adults must accept personal responsibility for living up to their obligations in the program.
