The Aftercare Services Network is currently providing support to young adults ages 18 through 22 who have aged out of foster care or certain other out-of-home placements and are facing education, employment, housing, or other challenges as a result of COVID-19. Emergency financial assistance is also available to qualifying young people.
Call 800-443-8336 or contact your local Aftercare provider to get connected to services.
Individual meetings with an Advocate can be arranged by contacting your local Aftercare Agency.
The IASN continues to follow safety protocols in response to the pandemic that allows for increased flexibility related to meetings with young people and acknowledges the change in circumstances that many young people are facing. We will continue to monitor and adapt as the situation evolves, balancing our commitment to continue to provide quality services to young people with the importance of taking precautionary preventive actions.
If you have questions about Aftercare services, please do not hesitate to contact your Aftercare Advocate or agency, or Joan Havel, the IASN State Coordinator. We are here to help!
For questions about the Coronavirus (COVID-19), see the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Iowa Department of Public Health (IDPH) for more information.
