Program Mission

The Transitional Housing Program reduces recidivism by combining stable housing with active case management. Residents receive a safe place to live while working with case managers on employment, sobriety, family reintegration, and the practical steps that lead to long-term independence — not a perfect history.

The program is currently in operation and is the subject of an active FY2026 federal funding submission to expand capacity from 16 to 31 beds. Stated program math, eligibility cohort, and intake flow reflected on this page match the figures locked into that submission packet.

Eligibility

Who This Program Serves

2

Court & Supervision Referrals

Individuals referred by Drug Court, probation or parole officers, or partner reentry programs.

4

Engagement With Case Plan

!

Emergency Placements

Emergency placements are accepted for reentry — partner agencies with an urgent situation should contact us directly rather than submit through the standard referral form.

Intake Flow

What Happens After a Referral

Once a referral is received, the program's intake coordinator moves through a structured flow with target turnaround times at each stage.

1

Referral Received

Partner agency submits the referral through the partner portal, with urgency, client info, and referrer contact.

2

Acknowledged

Within 24 hours the intake coordinator reviews the referral against availability and population fit, with a confirmation to the referrer.

3

Client Screening

Phone or in-person assessment: willingness to follow house rules and commitment to the case plan — assessed, not screened out by background.
