Women Helping Women: Transitions Program
ABOUT WOMEN HELPING WOMEN: TRANSITIONS PROGRAM
The Transitions Program has been providing a broad range of services and support to homeless, formerly battered women and their children since 1999. The purpose of the program is to help women obtain and retain permanent housing and to achieve self-sufficiency as they move from homelessness, emergency shelter or other temporary housing into long-term residential stability.
The Transitions Program provides case management, intake, needs assessment, advocacy, educational and support programs and referrals. A significant and vital component of the program has been rental assistance. Many of the women in this program are homeless because of domestic violence.
