About Transitional Housing

What Is Transitional Housing? 
 

Our Transitional Housing Program provides older adults with a safe, time-limited place to live while they stabilize, rebuild, and transition into long-term housing. We partner with case managers, referral agencies, hospitals, churches, and community organizations to support seniors facing housing insecurity.

​

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.

Program Highlights

Our transitional housing model includes:

  • Private or Semi-Private Rooms designed for comfort and independence

  • Fully furnished units (bed, dresser, linens, essentials)

  • Utilities always included

  • Safety-screened environments

  • Supportive case management through partner agencies

  • Assistance accessing benefits and stable income (SSI, SSDI, VA, aging services)

  • Warm handoffs to long-term housing providers

 

Our goal is to ensure each senior has a quiet, stable place to recover and prepare for their next chapter.
