Programs

Transition Projects provides people with the resources and tools they need to end their homelessness and maintain housing. Helping people meet their basic needs-shelter, clothing, food, cleanliness-is the bedrock of what we do. Once someone has met their basic needs, they can build the skills they need to transition to housing-goal setting, job skills, life skills, overcoming barriers to housing and income.
