Offers/Programs
StepUp, operated by Clark County Social Service, is a Young Adult Program for youth who have “aged out” of foster care in Nevada. The Funds to Assist Former Foster Youth (FAFFY) and Voluntary Court Jurisdiction (VOL JUR) laws make up the Step-Up Young Adult Program. Our goal is to assist young adults in making the transition from foster care to economic self-sufficiency. Young adults participating in the program will be paired with a qualified case manager who will assist them in their journey to become self-sufficient. Together, they will work on individualized case plan goals and the young adult will have access to someone who will be their advocate and help guide them.
Services
We offer various forms of financial assistance (and referrals to our network of community partners) to assist young adults including housing assistance, educational assistance, employment assistance, transportation, resources, and case management. This includes funds for rental assistance, help with move-in fees and deposits, move-in kits (kitchen supplies, cleaning supplies, etc.), graduation incentive, monthly 30-day bus passes, and other resources.
