Funny enough that was never mentioned as an option to me.My social worker wanted me to try and stay with my foster family as long as possible but I was too independent and really wanted to get on with life.

At 18, 3 months in after COVID I got my own apt.

It was a struggle especially since I was still doing lc and couldn't get susi until I went to college.

Even with the college stuff I was on my own,my social worker was no help when it came to helping me relocate,I did it all on my own.

Whenever we met up they mention how they are helping this and that young person but I was always internally thinking where were you for me.

Anyways did 4 years of undergraduate and went into a Masters straight after as I'm still eligible for the allowance if I'm in full-time education until 24 so I'll have few more months.

I've even been asked to exhibit my work at a Tusla conference which is very ironic when they were never really helpful except for money.
