The Transitional Housing Program provides safe housing with residential supports and mentoring to help women at risk of homelessness initiate change and transition to independent living and housing that is stable and secure. Average length of stay is six months. The Integrated Day Program supports at-risk women through life skills training and the development of personal action plans. The program strengthens self-sufficiency and supports each woman's transition into regular community life. The Wrap Around Initiative provides integrated case management and flexible funding to ensure access to housing for at-risk women (Source: CCSA).
