The Transitional Housing Program consists of 16 units. Unlike public housing programs where families may live for decades, PV Shelter units are re-circulated approximately every 18 to 24 months to provide housing for many homeless families over time. The maximum allowable stay in the Transitional Housing Program is 24 months.

During their residency in the Transitional Housing Program, previously homeless families receive intensive case management as well as training in areas such as budgeting, job and parenting skills and methods to find stable housing. Similar to the Shelter, there is a “tough love” program in place.

Transitional Housing Program families also sign a contract to abide by strict program requirements. Each family member over the age of 18 develops a written individual life plan with their case manager. Non-compliance with program requirements can result in termination of the program contract. To date, PV Shelter is proud to say that 18 families from this program have become homeowners. During the past year, 100% of families completing the program have moved on to stable housing, 90% had savings and 90% met at least three of the five “self-sufficiency goals.”
