About us
The Transition Resource Action Center (TRAC) is a one-stop
center that offers access to affordable housing, livable-wage jobs and a
safety net for current and former foster youth transitioning out of
substitute care.
TRAC was planned with the input of young people and with
their needs in mind. TRAC offers a safety net; it is a place where
current and former foster youth can find help to get a job, enroll in
college, establish a home, access health care, manage a budget, connect
to a caring community of adults and peers, and plan for their future.
TRAC staff can help young adults make informed choices about what
services they need. At TRAC, young people have opportunities to become
independent, contributing citizens by realizing their full potential as
they transition toward young adulthood.
Services are based on the Casey Family Programs transitions framework,
