Transitional Housing

Transitional housing is temporary, supportive housing for homeless people. Transitional housing with case management services is usually provided to specific subpopulations of homeless people – transition age youth, victims of domestic violence, people leaving jail or prison, or people recovering from substance abuse disorders. Transitional housing is generally provided for a limited time period, depending on the particular program - the maximum duration being 24 months.  Transitional Housing requires the program participants to pay a portion of their monthly income for rent and usually provides a temporary rent subsidy for the duration of the program.
