StarVista operates the Daybreak Transitional Living Program for Homeless Youth, a transitional living program specifically designed to meet the needs of homeless youth aged 16-21 in San Mateo County. In addition to meeting the basic needs of food, clothing and shelter, Daybreak also offers the following services to clients: case management, independent living skills training, financial management, support with education, and job development. StarVista’s Transitional Housing Youth Services provides housing assistance and case management services, including Transitional Housing Placement Plus and Aftercare, for youth 18-24 developing independent living skills.

Performance measures include the completion rate in job training or employment or enrollment in academic programs for youth in services at least 30 days and the percent of youth with individual case plans that transition to a positive living arrangement.
