Continuation of accommodation / assistance for young adults as foster children, accompaniment

The goals of full-time foster care cannot be achieved in the short term. When a foster child turns 18, help can be continued. This is to ensure that the progress made in the development of the young adult is not jeopardized. Young adults receive help as long as their personality development does not allow them to lead a self-determined, self-responsible and independent lifestyle.
The application for adult assistance must be submitted by the young person before the assistance begins. If the young person is receiving educational assistance, the application can be submitted six months before turning 18. Adult assistance can be approved up to the age of 21. In justified exceptional cases, adult assistance can be approved beyond the age of 21.
