Programs for Residents
Transitional Housing, Inc. (THI) was established to provide a safe environment for homeless women with programs and services designed to direct them toward self-sufficiency and independence. Participants who come to THI must want to make the changes in their lives which will enable them to move from homelessness to self-sufficiency. Participants are referred to THI by homeless and domestic violence shelters, drug and alcohol treatment centers and the Northeast Pre-Release Center. Women may stay up to two years and must participate in programming, contribute to their rent, and remain drug and alcohol free. Children are encouraged to visit; pregnant women are accepted.
Women eligible for participation at THI are:
- Homeless women between the ages 18 and 61
- Living alone or have a child 18 months or younger
- Receiving public assistance or have a limited income
- Not actively abusing alcohol or drugs
- Able to function independently
- Able and willing to participate in education, job training and employment
- Committed to participating in a structured two-year Personal Development Program
