FY26 Renewal: Transition to Adult Services

The Department of Children and Family Services is seeking applications for the FY26 Renewal of the Transition to Adult Services program. This program facilitates the transition of Illinois youth in care with intellectual disabilities from the child welfare system to adult services. The program manages the Transition List, which is a list of all youth in care who have been prescreened and are attempting to secure adult intellectual disability services. The program ensures that all appropriate individuals are added to the Transition List and move through the transition process as quickly as possible. Key responsibilities include: • Managing the Transition List • Ensuring timely and successful transition of youth to adult services • Providing consultation and training to caseworkers and residential providers • Locating the safest, least restrictive, and most appropriate adult services for youth in care.
