The Program
Provides housing for up to (12) young adults, ages 18-21. These young adults can be in the custody of DHS or have previously exited care and are receiving voluntary services, or they could be classified as runaway/homeless youth. The duration of their placement at HWAM TLP is limited to 24 months or the young adults 22nd birthday.
Investing in Young Adults
This program has a fee structure and has house expectations similar to college dorm living. This is not a hand-out program, our goal is independence and self-sufficiency. Residents are required to meet with a transition navigator weekly for goal setting and accountability. The objective is to direct young lives to make wise choices to become successful, productive adults.

ABOUT THE PROGRAM
