    Council Member Rita Joseph inquires about transition support for unaccompanied minors aging out of care. ACS officials explain the services available to these young people.

    • Young people in ACS care are eligible for all services regardless of immigration status
    • ACS works with young people without green cards on their immigration status, including referrals for Special Immigrant Juvenile Status (SIJS)
    • Services include healthcare, education referrals, therapy, language access services, and futures coaches
    • The main difference in support is the focus on immigration status for those without green cards
