Transitional & Independent Living

Helping young people build the skills and confidence to thrive.

 

Marygrove’s Transitional Living Program (TLP) includes Clinton, Sycamore, Milan and Linden Houses — community-based transitional homes located near the Marygrove campus.

This program provides limited supervision, case management, counseling, psychiatric services, and ongoing support to help young people, ages 17-20 pursue academic, occupational, and other life skills to advance them towards independence.

Marygrove’s Independent Living Program (ILP) is a managed, scattered-site apartment program designed to help teens, young adults, and families stabilize their lives and develop the skills needed to live independently.  Residents live in their own apartment while learning essential life skills such as personal finance, budgeting, job readiness, and parenting.  The ultimate goal of ILP is for residents to achieve self-sufficiency in all aspects of their lives.

Many ILP residents are teen parents, so a major focus of the program is teaching responsible parenting and ensuring the safety and well-being of their children. Our programs are designed to protect dependents while supporting young parents in building strong, healthy families.

 

 

In both TLP and ILP, Marygrove takes a personalized, one-on-one approach, working with each resident to create a realistic, sustainable plan for their future. Residents are guided in setting and achieving goals, overcoming challenges, managing stress, and developing responsible behaviors. The T/ILP team is also available 24/7 for phone support to ensure residents have guidance whenever they need it.
