Since 2008 The Shelter’s Transitional Housing (TH) program has provided safe, affordable, and supportive transitional housing for survivors of domestic violence and their children who are facing homelessness. It is the goal of Transitional Housing to maintain an empowerment-based, safe and secure living environment for domestic violence survivors.
The Shelter’s Transitional Housing program is comprised of six cottages where residents can live for up to 24 months with an array of supportive services. Prior to entry, adult residents meet with the TH Advocate to create individual service plans. Additionally, a weekly meeting schedule and participation in the weekly life skills group is coordinated. Service plan goals typically include increasing income, decreasing public assistance, and developing skills and abilities which empower the individual to build hope for the future; self sustain, and obtain permanent violence-free housing.
