The Foster Youth to Independence (FYI) initiative makes Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) assistance available to Public Housing Agencies (PHAs) in partnership with Public Child Welfare Agencies (PCWAs).

Placer County youth who may be eligible must get a referral from the Children's System of Care. Youth with a CSOC case worker should work through them. Youth without a CSOC case worker can call CSOC directly at 530-889-6700. Timeline for receiving a voucher may be lengthy.

As required by statute, an FYI voucher issued to an eligible youth may only be used to provide housing assistance for the youth for a maximum of 36 months. In addition to providing up to 36 months of rental assistance, youth must be provided supportive services to assist the young person on their path to self-sufficiency.
