Abstract

This study examined young adult perspectives regarding quality of Independent Living (IL) Services received while in foster care, recommendations for improving IL services, life satisfaction levels, and reasons for nonparticipation in IL programs. Results suggest that most youths fail to attend IL programs because they are uninformed about them, are mostly dissatisfied with financial pressures in adulthood, and think IL programs do best at preparing youths for educational success and least well at teaching youths parenting skills. They suggest that IL counselors develop closer relationships with youths, the curriculum strengthen its emphasis on parenting and organizational skills, the Subsidized IL (SIL) program eligibility requirements be softened, and the monthly SIL stipend be raised.
