Support in kindLimited number available
Free career training and education for people aged 16 to 24 on a low income, including housing, meals and health care while enrolled. One of the few programmes that covers living costs rather than only tuition.
Career technical training, education towards a diploma or equivalency, housing, meals and health care while enrolled, and a transition payment on leaving. The regulation states no dollar value, so none is recorded, but this is among the largest benefits in the catalogue in practical terms.
