Women in Transition and Supportive Housing
The Women in Transition (WIT) and Interim Housing programs provide quality temporary housing services for homeless women and their children. Qualified staff assist residents in creating individualized case plans to meet the goals and needs of their family. WIT advocates on behalf of each family and provides resources and referrals for long-term housing, healthcare, financial literacy, child care, job readiness and advanced employment and educational opportunities. The 18 month program also provides six months of quality aftercare services for clients who transition into self-sufficiency.
