About
Transitional Housing Placement Program for Non-Minor Dependents (THPP):Walden was one of the first agencies in Southern California to offer THPP, a program that provides youth ages 18-21 with safe, affordable housing in a neighborhood of their choosing, comprehensive and individualized case management, life skills training, mentors, opportunities to make community connections, and goal-planning. THP was introduced when AB12 passed in 2012, the state law that enables youth to stay in foster care until age 21. Walden currently operates the program through our Riverside, Los Angeles and San Diego offices. THP-Plus Foster Care:Walden started to provide 5 THP Plus beds for San Diego County during 2017. THP Plus provides housing for former foster youth, ages 21-25, up to 36 months based on school attendance.
