Transitional Housing

Sites & Programs

Overview

Transitional housing provides a crucial bridge for individuals and families experiencing homelessness, offering a supportive environment designed to help them stabilize and regain independence. The focus of this type of housing is to assist individuals in developing the skills and resources necessary to move into and maintain permanent housing; it is meant to provide a safe, supportive environment where residents can overcome trauma, rebuild their support networks, and begin to address the issues that led to their homelessness. This stability is foundational for addressing other areas of residents' lives, such as education, employment, and overall well-being.
At HRH, our transitional housing model focuses on empowering residents through the provision of safe housing and comprehensive supportive services. During their stay in our programs (max 2 yrs?), residents work with Care Management staff to create independent living plans, identifying goals and strategies to work towards self-sufficiency and personal growth. This can include??? Care Managers also help residents to apply for benefits, find employment, and access community resources such as healthcare or substance abuse treatment providers (rephrase).

By addressing the root causes of homelessness and offering a structured path to stability, HRH plays a pivotal role in reducing homelessness and promoting long-term stability for vulnerable individuals and families.
