The Independent Living Act of 1986 provided funding for states to help older foster youth transition to independence.

• A. It provided funding for states to help older foster youth transition to independence
• B. It eliminated foster care programs
• C. It created universal basic income
• D. It restricted independence services

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is that the Independent Living Act of 1986 was about funding states to support older foster youth as they move toward independence. This law established and supported programs that help youths aging out of foster care develop the skills, housing, education, and employment resources they need to live independently. That’s exactly what the chosen option describes.

The other statements don’t fit this purpose: the Act did not eliminate foster care programs, it was not about universal basic income, and it did not restrict independence services.
