What is Transitional housing ?

Transitional housing

 Transitional housing at L.I.F.T serves as a temporary solution for individuals and families within the homeless population, including battered women, formerly incarcerated individuals, and those facing significant barriers to stable housing. This program is particularly designed for those who are employed but lack the income to secure permanent housing. Unlike emergency shelters, L.I.F.T offers a stable and supportive environment where residents are provided with a private room or apartment, as well as essential services to assist in their recovery and growth. The program’s goal is to help residents build stability, develop crucial life skills, and work toward long-term self-sufficiency, ultimately transitioning them into permanent, affordable housing. 

Who Benefits from Transitional Housing?

 Transitional housing programs serve diverse populations, including individuals recently released from incarceration, families experiencing temporary homelessness, survivors of domestic violence, homeless veterans, and individuals in recovery from substance abuse. These programs are designed to provide a stable and supportive environment that promotes self-sufficiency, while addressing the unique needs of each population. By offering targeted services and resources, transitional housing plays a critical role in assisting these vulnerable groups as they work toward achieving permanent housing and long-term stability.
