Ohana’s Extended Foster Care program is a partnership with the Arizona Department of Child Safety, designed to support youth as they transition from foster care into independent adulthood. Starting at age 17½ and continuing through age 21, this program provides consistent, personalized support during one of life’s most critical turning points.
Our dedicated success coaches walk alongside each young adult, helping them set goals, build life skills, and access the resources they need to succeed in college, career, and daily life. Whether they’re pursuing education, entering the workforce, or navigating life skills like budgeting and housing, they don’t have to do it alone.
We know that “aging out” without a strong support system leads to real risks like housing instability, unemployment, and loss of direction. Too often, traditional models rely on temporary housing and limited resources. Ohana’s approach is different: rooted in relationship, built on trust, and designed to empower young adults to thrive long after foster care ends.
