THP-Plus

The THP-Plus Statewide Implementation Project began as a collaboration between the John Burton Foundation, the California Department of Social Services, and the Corporation for Supportive Housing. Since the 2011 Realignment of Child Welfare Services which changed THP-Plus from a state-administered program to county-administered program, the John Burton Foundation has continued to support the Implementation Project’s goal: to reduce homelessness among former foster care and probation youth by expanding access to the Transitional Housing Placement Plus Program (THP-Plus). THP-Plus provides affordable housing and a wide range of supportive services, including job training, educational support, and counseling. The project seeks to expand access to THP-Plus throughout the state through training, technical assistance, and advocacy.
