Transitional Housing
Transitional Housing Plus (THP Plus) is a supportive housing program that serves former foster and probation youth between the ages of 18-24. In the program, participants secure independent housing in the community, and meet regularly with their THP Plus Coordinators to work on independent living goals. Throughout this process, particpants recieve financial assistance with rent, utilities, food, and educational expenses while also saving money for when they leave the program. They also receive emotional support, life skills coaching, and connections to valuable community resources.
Through delivery of these services in a real life environment, we seek to promote the self-confidence and financial stability necessary for youth and young adults to succeed in independent living.
Eligible participants have emancipated from the foster care system or an out of home probation placement.
Stanford House provides eight beds of transitional housing for adults with psychiatric disabilities in a four-bedroom house. Residents typically stay at Stanford for up to 18 months, with 24 months being the maximum allowed. An on-site manager and the Housing Support Team assist the residents in building community and in meeting the challenges of living together as an eight-person household unit.
During their stay at Stanford, residents work on sobriety, psychiatric stability, and independent living skills in preparation for permanent housing in the community.
