Thank you for visiting our Emancipation Program website. Please continue to contact us with your comments and suggestions. We need and welcome your participation to make this site a vibrant source of information for all youth transitioning from foster care in Los Angeles County. If you have information to share on our site or experience a problem with the site (e.g. nonfunctioning link), please contact Terence Rice via email at ricet@dcfs.co.la.ca.us

The Emancipation Program receives a set budget every year from state and federal government sources. Resources are distributed according to need and not as an entitlement. Since the budget is limited, please note that the services and benefits described in this website are available to eligible transitioning youth 16 - 20 in Los Angeles County, on a needs-basis, until all funds are spent for the fiscal year (there are some ILP services available for youth 14 - 15). Some of the resources are listed for your information and ARE NOT to be considered an endorsement by Los Angeles County.
