Our Supervised Independent Living (SIL) Programs
Path Haven’s mission is accomplished through implementation of two supervised independent living (SIL) programs: (1) The College Bound Program and (2) The Employment Independency Program. While occupying rental units at Path Haven, youth aging out of foster care participate in one of the two SIL programs. Throughout our smooth transition process, Program Coordinators of Path Haven supervise youth completion of SIL program requirements. For more information about our SIL programs, email us at info@pathhaven.org or call us at (615) 289-4875.
