Information

Referral History:

An annual update of the Independent Living Schools Program administered by the Employment and Human Services Department (EHSD) was first referred to the Family and Human Services Committee by the Board of Supervisors on October 17, 2006.

On June 7, 2016, EHSD requested, and the Board approved, expanding Referral #93 – Independent Living Skills Program to include additional youth services updates and retitling the referral to “Youth Services Report”, so that the department can include reports on all youth services offered in the community through EHSD, including Workforce Investment and Opportunity Act (WIOA) and CalWORKs youth services.

On June 28, 2021, EHSD presented its last update to the Family and Human Services on youth services and the Independent Living Skills Program activities.
