When a young adult decides to participate in Extended Foster Care, the court must extend its jurisdiction over the young adult. A young adult is only considered to be in Extended Foster Care if the young adult is living in one of the following types of DFPS-paid placements:

  •   A licensed or verified foster home, foster group home, or general residential operation (such as a residential treatment center)

  •   A supervised independent living (SIL) setting provided by a contractor to young adults who have aged out of DFPS conservatorship (see 10460 Supervised Independent Living (SIL))
