The decision about where you wish to live as you move into adulthood can be full of possibilities but also a time full of questions and worries. Working with FACSFLA to determine what options may be available and to get the support you need is important and should happen with as much early planning a possible.
If you are preparing to go to University or College discuss with your worker as part of your planning if you wish to live in school residence with a meal plan offered through your school. We are here to help with budgeting and questions you may have about payments and associated deferral fees for these options.
