Apply for continuation of full-time care for young adults

Here you can find out under what conditions you can continue to live with your foster parents after your 18th birthday as part of full-time care and in conjunction with support for young adults.

Detailed description

Your full-time foster care arrangement does not automatically end when you turn 18. Even beyond that, as a young adult, you can continue to apply for support in connection with full-time care and remain with your foster family under certain conditions.
