Transitional Housing Programs
Transitional Housing provides people with significant barriers to housing stability with a place to live and intensive social services for up to two years while they work toward self‐sufficiency and housing stability.
If you are a homeless veteran, family or youth, transitional housing may help you move from the street to permanent housing. People using transitional housing may stay in the housing for six months to two years and receive intensive services such as education, job training and placement, substance abuse counseling, parenting classes and child care services. They usually pay 30 percent of their income for services and housing. Transitional housing is provided by nonprofit partners of the Department of Homelessness and Supportive Housing.
