The Friendship House Transitional Housing Program assists employable, displaced adults who have already demonstrated a commitment to addressing their life issues in a holistic manner. This four-stage program provides residents with up to one year of subsidized housing in a communal living environment and an aftercare program with no time limit. During their residency in the program, participants engage with Friendship House staff and volunteers to:
- Find and maintain employment
- Learn how to maintain a budget and manage finances
- Receive credit counseling and work to eliminate outstanding debt
- Improve relationship-building and decision-making skills
- Receiving parenting training and, when possible, reunite with their children
- Address any issues threatening their long-term strategic recovery
