family unification. The Family Unification Program (FUP) is a
program under which vouchers are provided to families for whom the
lack of adequate housing is a primary factor in the imminent
placement of the family's child, or children, in out-of-home care;
or the delay in the discharge of the child, or children, to the
family from out-of-home care. Youths at least 18 years old and not
more than 21 years old (have not reached 22nd birthday) who left
foster care at age 16 or older and who do not have adequate housing
are also eligible to receive housing assistance under the FUP. A
FUP voucher issued to such a youth may only be used to provide
housing assistance for the youth for a maximum of 18
months.
