3.1C. INDEPENDENT LIVING, Certifications and Requirements, Coordination
Answer
The law requires each State/Tribe to coordinate its Independent Living Program and services with other agencies and providers that serve youth. Programs listed in the legislation (transitional living programs, abstinence education programs, local housing programs, programs for disabled youth and school-to-work programs) must be included in the State's/Tribe's coordination effort; however, we encourage States/Tribes to coordinate with an even broader range of youth-oriented agencies and programs such as health-related programs, local job training and employment programs, community colleges and youth'shelters. Regulations at 45 CFR 1357 offer guidance on how to consult and coordinate with other public/private entities for the title IV-B program that might be useful in implementing the Chafee Program.
