Housing Navigation Program
Non-minor dependents who are ILP-eligible (aged 18-20) and need support in finding and maintaining housing can receive support from the Housing Navigator. Services include 1-1 coaching, application assistance, mental health support, and independent living skills training. A youth already enrolled in ILP can talk to their ILP Coach to get connected. Youth not already enrolled in ILP will need to submit a Request for Service (RFS) or Alameda County Referral to [email protected]. For more information, contact Sema’J Wyatt at [email protected] or 510-882-3692.
