May you admit a young adult into your transitional living program?

• A. Yes
• B. No
• C. Only if they are 21 or older
• D. Only if they are 15 or younger

Answer: (A)

Transitional living programs are designed to help young people transition to independent adulthood, often serving individuals aging out of foster care. Because of that purpose, admitting a young adult who meets the program’s eligibility and needs is appropriate. The goal is to provide housing, life skills coaching, and ongoing support during the transition to independence, not to exclude based on being a young adult. The other options don’t fit because they unnecessarily limit admission by age or categorically exclude young adults, which would go against the program’s mission to support this transition period.
