Improving transitional housing programs for youths aging out of care in Israel

Evaluation research on transitional housing programs (THP) for youths aging out of care resulted in recommendations on how to improve the programs to ensure a more effective response to the needs of care leavers. The aim of the present study was to examine whether implementing the recommendations indeed improved the experiences of care leavers during their participation in the THPs, and their outcomes two to three years after discharge from the program.
