Transitional Housing Program
About Transitional Housing
What Is Transitional Housing?
Transitional housing provides short-term, supportive housing options for adults age 55+ who need stability while working toward long-term housing. Group Home Alliance helps eligible seniors and veterans access transitional housing through coordinated referrals, supportive services, and community partnerships across Metro Atlanta.
​
Our program is purpose-built for:
-
Seniors (55+) experiencing housing instability
-
Older adults with disabilities who can live independently
-
Senior veterans who need a safe, supportive bridge to permanent housing
-
Older adults leaving shelters, hospitals, or unsafe living situations
We provide a dignified, private, and stable environment while coordinating the resources they need for long-term success.
