The Independent Living Services Advisory Council released its 2007 Report about independent living services for Florida’s youth in foster care. The report notes that as of July 1, 2007, there were 4,927 children, ages 13 through 17, in licensed foster care eligible for independent living services and 4,451 young adults formerly in foster care, ages 18 through 22, potentially eligible to receive independent living services. Calling these “manageable numbers,” the report makes a series of recommendations for the Florida Legislature and the Department of Children and Families.
