Youth between the ages of 15 ½ and 18 are in the PAL In-Care stage, which allows them
to take a series of life skills classes.
Youth must complete all classes before aging out of care and
they must stay in care until at least the 18th birthday in
order to receive the one thousand dollar Transitional Living
Allowance.
All youth who age out of
foster care at 18 years or older are eligible for PAL After Care
benefits which include assistance with rent, tuition waivers,
educational training vouchers and more.
These benefits can be obtained at the Houston Alumni and Youth
(HAY) Center. The HAY
Center is a one-stop shop where young people can receive information
and services pertaining to life after foster care.
The HAY center serves Houston area youth and young adults ages
16-21, including Harris County and the 12 surrounding counties.
