TRANSITIONAL HOUSING 

FOR CURRENT AND FORMER FOSTER YOUTH

WHO WE SUPPORT

Our Transitional Housing Program supports current and former foster youth ages 18–25 who are transitioning into adulthood and seeking a safe, stable place to call home. More than housing, we offer a supportive community where residents can focus on their goals, build meaningful connections, and create a strong foundation for the future.

What We Offer

Residents live in safe, fully furnished apartments that provide stability, dignity, and a sense of belonging. Alongside housing, residents receive personalized support tailored to their goals and aspirations.

Whether pursuing education, employment, parenting, improved well-being, or greater independence, residents have access to caring staff, practical resources, and a supportive community that encourages growth and long-term stability.

Program supports include: 

  • Safe, fully furnished apartments with 24/7 on-site support
  • Individualized case management and goal planning
  • Mental health and wellness services
  • Life skills education, including budgeting, financial literacy, and savings support
  • Education and employment guidance
  • Parenting support and on-site child care for families 
  • Community-building activities and on-site partner services
