The Key Transitional Living Program

 The Transitional Living Program serves eight individuals and/or families who are survivors of domestic violence, are in need of independent and safe housing and are committed to securing a better future for themselves and for their children.  We provided this assistance under a scattered site model.  

The program participants locate housing that is close to support networks that they have already established, such as churches, family or their children's schools.  We provide services including case management, outreach, information and referrals to other community agencies and programs as well as client advocacy and support.  Together, we formulate goals and determine what assistance is available and to what extend the participant wants our assistance.  

We' re here to lend a hand!

The Transitional Living Program emphasizes the empowerment of participants.  The program provides counseling, individual advocacy, and transitional housing for individuals or families who would otherwise be homeless.  Many services are coordinated with other community agencies and organizations to encourage autonomy.

Life Skills - classes are held every Tuesday evening from 6-8 pm and are designed to assist in teaching independent living skills.  Pre-registration is required to uphold the integrity of the group focus.
