MCFD supports extended until March 31st, 2022!

All youth who are set to transition at age 19 will continue to receive housing and financial support past their 19th birthday, until March 31, 2022.

This means youth who are currently living in foster care, contracted residential agencies or with relatives through an out-of-care arrangement, such as through the extended family program, will be able to stay in their placements, and youth on Independent Living Agreements and Youth Agreements will continue to receive financial support.
