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
