Financial support for reformed child felons???

So i have a character whos sent to Juve for almost killing his little brother (oopsy) and when he's released the starts his redemption arc. Goes to therapy gets some meds gets a job at a coffee shop all that good shit.

My concern is that he may not make enough money from that job to support himself, so I thought of a law/program that can step up ex-juve kids with financial support after release, kinda like a disability pension, he'll get a certain amount of money a fortnight that will go towards food and rent etc. My question is- is this a realistic program? will I have to install parameters as to who qualifies for the pension and who doesn't?
any help is greatly appreciated :)))

Thanks! I definitely think a monthly evaluation of his income could be reasonable. I also think that they child would have to be above the age of 18 to qualify

This is great info! I like the idea of the program working with specific businesses to offer jobs to the kids coming out of reform! I can imagine the coffee shop has a few ex-juve kids trying to make a living. Assisted housing isn't an awful idea either- though id have to think more into how that would influence the plot etc.

I think they could qualify as long as they obey the lore/rules of parole, make under a certain amount of money and are over a certain age. Maybe what starts with a weekly check up by a parole officer could then turn into monthly check up with government officials to see if they still qualify?

splendid! cheers for all the help !

I was thinking theyd just go back to their families, but I hadn't really thought about kids that we're disowned. I suppose that all children under the age of 18 are required by law to be under the guardianship of an adult, be it biological or not. So I guess if they don't meet the age requirement, they end up in foster care. Not ideal but I think it's a realistic senario.
