SILP Readiness Assessment Sample Tool
A modifiable tool developed by the John Burton Foundation to help social workers and probation officers assess young adults in Extended Foster Care for readiness for the Supervised Independent Living Placement (SILP).
Note: While a readiness assessment is required of all young adults planning on residing in SILPs (except young adult living in college or university approved housing) there is no standard assessment tool required by the California Department of Social Services. County child welfare agencies are free to develop their own readiness assessment tool. Use of this particular tool is not required but is available as a resource for county agencies. Section 2 of this tool is partially based on content from the Ansell-Casey Life Skills Assessment Youth Level IV–Version 4.0 along with feedback from practitioners.
