To aid: (1) Families for whom the lack of adequate housing is a primary factor in: a. The imminent placement of the family’s child or children in out-of-home care, or b. The delay in the discharge of the child or children to the family from out-of-home care. (2) For a period not to exceed 36 months, otherwise eligible youths who have attained at least 18 years and not more than 24 years of age and who have left foster care, or will leave foster care within 90 days, in accordance with a transition plan described in section 475(5)(H) of the Social Security Act and is homeless or is at risk of becoming homeless at age 16 or older. FUP- eligible families and youths may use these Housing Choice Vouchers (HVCs) to obtain decent, safe, and affordable housing units in the private rental market. Where appropriations provide for FUP assistance to be targeted to FUP-eligible youth only, HUD uses the name Foster Youth to Independence to create a distinction between regular FUP allocations and allocations targeted to FUP-eligible youth only.
