The federal John H. Chafee Foster Care Program for Successful Transition to Adulthood (the Chafee program) provides funding to and governs the independent living program known as STAY (Successful Transition to Adulthood for Youth) in Minnesota. The Chafee program requires a client-specific data collection system to track independent living services provided to youth, and defined outcomes that measure each state’s performance in preparing youth for successful transition to adulthood, from foster care to independent living.
