Aftercare Transitional Support

After Care Transitional Support Program “ATS” is a two-year, drug and alcohol-free, transitional support program.

Program Contents

ATS is committed to supporting participants in being successful in the community. To this end, the following services are provided:

Individualized goal plans
Support & resources to help achieve the goals in their plans
2-year housing/rent subsidy. Subsidy is based on your income.

Overview

Youth will spend 20 hours each week working towards program goals. These hours may include working or attending school. Youth and their Case Manager will discuss program expectations, set goals and plan for services that are helpful to meet those goals.

Case Manager:
763-453-4662

Length of Program

Participation in the ATS will not exceed twenty-four (24) months. Rebound may dismiss youth from the program and stop providing housing subsidy for violating the rules. Youth can leave the program at any time by giving staff at least 30-days written notice. If they choose to leave the program, they will be responsible for the full payment of their monthly rent.

Not Your Landlord

Rebound, Inc. partners with landlords to place ATS Program participants in apartments. Participants then hold a lease directly with the said Landlord and are subject to all rights and responsibilities as a tenant. Because of this, participation in the ATS program can be terminated without the requirement that youth vacate their apartment. However, if they are terminated from the ATS program, their rent subsidy will stop.

Rent Subsidy

Rent subsidies are based on unit size and youth's income. Youth will not pay more than 30% of their monthly income, up to 50% of total unit rent. A rent subsidy will pay the remaining balance of their rent, provided that they remain in the program. Youth's portion of the rent is due by the 1st of each month to Rebound.
If rent is paid after the 1st of the month, a $25 late fee is due to Rebound at the time of payment. If rent is not paid by the 15th of the month youth may be subject to program termination.
