Transitional Supportive Housing

Transitional housing programs offer temporary residence to individuals and families experiencing homelessness. Residents can stay in transitional houses for a few months to two years. There are several benefits of transitional housing. Residents get time to recover from a crisis. Many transitional housing programs offer support services to help residents rebuild their lives through structured Transitional Supportive Housing services.

Unique People Services is a nonprofit organization committed to touching the lives of people grappling with homelessness. Inclusion is embedded in our DNA. We do not discriminate on the grounds of ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender, and criminal history. We also offer transitional supportive housing to individuals who are in addiction recovery.

We go above and beyond to create and maintain a safe and supportive environment in our houses as part of our Transitional Supportive Housing program. Our team offers a range of support services to residents. Whether a resident wants to upskill, learn life skills, or needs counseling, we can help. Residents can use the skills that they learn during their stay in our Transitional Supportive Housing residences to rebuild their lives.

Every house is managed by an expert team of professionals. Our professionals have undergone extensive training and realize the importance of empathy. They do not judge residents for their past mistakes and choices. Our team members are expert communicators and are always willing to lend a sympathetic ear to residents who are trying to navigate life’s challenges.

When a person who has made some poor life choices in the past has too much time on their hands, they may find themselves trapped in a vicious cycle of negative thoughts and make some terrible decisions. A person who is in recovery, for example, may fail to curb cravings and start using drugs or alcohol again to deal with boredom.

We organize events at our houses regularly to engage residents. Our house management teams conduct house meetings regularly. During meetings, residents are encouraged to share their stories so others can learn from their experiences. House meetings offer opportunities for residents to bond with each other and build lifelong friendships.

We expect all residents to follow house rules. It is mandatory for residents trying to overcome an addiction to undergo drug tests at regular intervals. Surprise drug tests ensure compliance with house rules, helping create a drug-free environment.

Everyone should have a routine. A routine helps create structure in life, and improve one’s physical and mental health. We help residents create a routine and stick to it as part of our Transitional Supportive Housing program. They are encouraged to do household chores. When a person does household chores regularly, they develop a sense of responsibility.
