The Transitional Living Program (TLP) is intended for a youth, typically age 16 and over; whose permanency goal is not reunification, adoption or legal guardianship. The purpose of the transitional living program is to provide a living environment in the best interest of the youth that provides a path for the youth to transition from alternative care to self-sufficiency and achieves the outcome of preparing the youth to live independently.  More information about transitional living providers can be found in Section 4, Chapter 5 (Older Youth Program), Subsection 4 – Transitional Living Program
