The Non-Minor Dependent resides in Moorpark, CA and is in need of essential toiletries, household items, and basic supplies, including personal care products, kitchenware, cleaning tools, a bus pass, and a grocery card. The youth recently moved into a new apartment due to unexpected issues at a previous placement. She is currently in a transitional apartment and do not have to pay rent. The youth is meeting case plan goals and court orders, is actively looking for a job, and has enrolled in college. She is committed to securing employment and pursuing their education. During my work with the youth, I have identified the following strengths: hardworking, motivated, and caring. Her primary goals are to secure employment so she can afford food and basic necessities for her home. For these reasons, I am advocating for her to have the needs identified above met. The main reason I am requesting that these needs be fulfilled is that the youth is starting with nothing and requires support as she works to establish her living situation. DCFS will continue to link the youth to community services such as food banks, counseling, etc., to ensure stable housing and successful emancipation. For other items needed, I will explore additional DFCS options for funding and in-house donations. This request is being made through Care Portal because, unfortunately, DCFS does not have the resources to provide essential toiletries, household items, and basic supplies.
