The Independent Living Skills Program(ILSP)is designed to prepare foster children age 16 years and over for
emancipation and responsible adulthood. ILSP services include daily living skills,money management, career and
educational planning, and housing assistance. ILSP has served more than 1,200 youth since July 2002 and has been
identified as a best practice model by the California Department of Social Services. The Employment and Human
Services Department delivers ILSP services countywide with offices in Martinez(Central County), Contra Costa College
(West County), and Los Medanos College(East County). ILSP also offers individualized services at homes and schools

These unique ILSP contracts are funded by federal and/or private foundation grants. The nature of the funded
services provided requires outreach and work in and outside of EHSD offices by contractors that are prior
graduates from the Foster Care program.
