Transitional Housing Program
HOUSING PROGRAM:PHASE I TRANSITIONAL HOUSING: HOPE AND A HOME OWNS 19 TRANSITIONAL HOUSING UNITS. WE WORK WITH THE COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIP FOR THE PREVENTION OF HOMELESSNESS TO FILL OUR UNIT VACANCIES WITH FAMILIES FROM LOCAL SHELTERS. IN FY 2023, WE PROVIDED 21 HOMELESS FAMILIES WITH HIGHLY SUBSIDIZED TRANSITIONAL HOUSING UNITS, WHICH THEY MAY INHABIT FOR UP TO THREE YEARS. DURING THEIR RESIDENCY, FAMILIES SECURE EMPLOYMENT, ENROLL THEIR CHILDREN IN DAY CARE AND GOOD-PERFORMING SCHOOLS, GAIN HOUSING AND FINANCIAL LITERACY SKILLS -- WHILE ADDRESSING THEIR PERSONAL BARRIERS TO SUCCESS AND INDEPENDENCE. BY GRADUATION, PARENTS ARE PREPARED TO SECURE AFFORDABLE HOUSING -- WHICH SOMETIMES MEANS BECOMING OWNERS OF COOPERATIVES OR OTHER HOUSING. PHASE 2 INDEPENDENT HOUSING: AFTER THREE YEARS IN TRANSITIONAL, HOUSING FAMILIES IN PHASE 2 LIVE INDEPENDENTLY, YET CONTINUE TO RECEIVE PERSONALIZED CASE MANAGEMENT ON A MONTHLY BASIS TO MAINTAIN THEIR HOMES AND ACHIEVE THEIR GOALS -- WHICH CAN RANGE FROM CONTINUING EDUCATION AND CAREER PROSPECTS TO PURCHASING A HOME. PHASE 2 FAMILIES THAT MOVE INTO MARKET-RATE HOUSING RECEIVE UP TO $300/MONTH FOR RENTAL ASSISTANCE IN THEIR FIRST YEAR OUT AND $200/MONTH IN THEIR SECOND YEAR.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesOct 1, 2022 – Sep 30, 2023Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$802KEducation and Job Readiness Programs
