Minor Parent in an Adult Supervised Setting

Temporary Assistance:

A Minor Parent (under the age of 18) who is not married must live with his/her own parent(s) or in another adult supervised supportive living arrangement.

An adult supervised supportive living arrangement means a private family setting or other living arrangement (not including a public institution), which is maintained as a family. This means an adult has taken on responsibility for the care and control of the Minor Parent and dependent, providing supportive services, counseling, guidance, or supervision. Eligible living arrangements are:

  • Home of the Minor Parent’s own parent(s)
  • Home of an adult relative
  • Home of a legal guardian
  • Other adult supervised living arrangement

If the Minor Parent does not reside in any of the allowable living arrangements see Exceptions for Minor Parent Living Arrangement.
