Hale Kipa’s Independent Living Program (ILP) teaches skills for interdependent living and self sufficiency to youth that are in permanent foster care.

The program works in a variety of placement settings including Department of Human Services (DHS) and Hale Kipa licensed foster homes. In addition, the Haloa Transitional House (HTH) provides a transitional residence house with live-in Resident Advisor for former foster young women. Hale Kipa’s Independent Living Program Training Apartment (ILPTA) provides a teaching home for young men transitioning out of foster care (see separate ILPTA insert).

Youth in the ILP program are encouraged to develop independent living skills such as time and money management, employment/vocation, education, social and personal skills, household management, health and leisure, legal and consumer skills, and making the most of community resources.
