Domestic violence is one of the leading causes of homelessness in America. Year after year, affordable housing has been the greatest unmet need of families fleeing abusive situations.
Our Transitional Housing Program provides safe, affordable housing, counseling, and supportive services for survivors and their children. Each family can stay for 6 months to two years, pay below-market rent, and benefit from comprehensive on-site supportive services and referrals to other community service providers. We have 3 housing units available for families in need of Transitional Housing.
If you are interested in applying for one of our housing programs, please download and fill out the application forms below.
Transitional Housing is designed to:
- Accommodate adults with or without children with only one family per unit
- Offer each family control over their living conditions
- Offer safety and security in a well-maintained building
- Accommodate on-site counseling
Our goal for each family in the Transitional Housing Program is that within two years they will amass the resources and skills they need — education, employment, financial management, parenting, and personal development — to secure and maintain permanent housing and live independent, violence-free lives.
The Program does not discriminate against any applicant on the basis of race, color, creed, religion, sex, national origin, age, familial status, ancestry, unfavorable military discharge, marital status, receipt of governmental assistance, or handicap.
The Program does not discriminate on the basis of handicapped status in the admission or access to, or treatment or employment in, its federally assisted programs and activities.
