Transitional Home Frequently Asked Questions


What is a transitional home?

A transitional home is a structured, supportive living environment designed to help individuals successfully transition to independent living. Our homes provide stability, accountability, and guidance while residents work toward personal, educational, vocational, and recovery goals.

What makes your transitional homes different?

We focus on long-term success, not just providing housing. Our approach emphasizes accountability, recovery, personal growth, and practical life skills, helping residents build a strong foundation for independent living. We also lead with doing our best to offer private rooms in our homes whenever possible, as we believe personal space supports dignity, healing, and stability during the transition process.

How long can someone stay in the transitional home?

Length of stay depends on individual needs and progress. Typical stays range from 3 to 24 months, with extensions considered based on goal completion, engagement, and housing readiness.


Who is eligible for your transitional homes?

Eligibility varies but generally includes individuals who are:

  • Transitioning from treatment, incarceration, homelessness, or unstable housing

  • In recovery and committed to maintaining sobriety (when applicable)

  • Motivated to participate in structured programming

  • Able to follow house rules and community guidelines

Each applicant goes through an intake and assessment process to ensure a good fit.
