Transitional Housing SERVICE ENRICHED BRIDGED HOUSING

Emergency and extended shelter with supportive services

Transitional housing provides the individual or family facing homelessness an opportunity to stabilize.

Once the stress and trauma of where one is going to sleep at night is removed, individuals are then able to begin transitioning back to a state of normalcy and productivity.

When people hear the words “transitional housing” there is often a stereotype or stigma attached to it. They often have a vision of institutional type settings. The truth is that transitional housing can come in many shapes and forms. Some transitional housing facilities cater to niche demographics such as women & children, the elderly, the disabled, or United States Veterans.

Additionally, transitional housing is segmented for those that have specific needs for a more structured environment such as sober living or those in need of more concentrated supervision due to mental health or medical needs.

No matter the circumstances in which someone has a need for transitional housing, supportive services such as access to food, personal hygiene items, medical and mental healthcare and assistance with employment or other financial assistance are paramount at this stage. Those lacking knowledge regarding public resources or government benefits will need guidance and referrals to navigate the web of bureaucratic paperwork.
