Vita Nova Village is the nonprofit’s housing program for young adults ages 18-25 that have turned 18 in the foster care system or young adults in the community who are homeless. The program is designed to assist young adults to learn to live independently while completing goals related to school and work. This is done by providing life skills classes for our participants, setting individual goals, and holding youth accountable for their successes and challenges. Vita Nova provides support services that are on-and-off site.

Vita Nova’s Independent Living Services aids young adults who were once minors in foster care in Palm Beach County and turned 18 years old while in care. The objective of the program is to assist with obtaining the life skills and education necessary to become self-sufficient, live independently, and maintain employment.
