1 Year Transitional Housing
Facilities
Families, including those with single fathers and/or teenage boy over the age of 12, and students who are experiencing homelessness or at imminent risk of homelessness can stay up to 12 months in shared transitional housing with case management and supportive services. The program is operated in 2 homes located in Watsonville, CA.
The program is structured, supportive and drug and alcohol free. The goal of the program is to successfully exit all participating families into permanent housing, with the skills, resources and support they need to maintain employment and housing stability, plan for their futures, pursue happiness and thrive under a roof of their own.
Once living in 1-Year Transitional Housing, parents participate in Case Management meetings bi-weekly and set individualized goals for their family. Goals typically include those related to self-care and emotional stability, mental health and substance abuse, employment and education, parenting skills, personal financial management/budgeting/credit repair, savings for move-in and housing costs.
The Three Pillars of Self-Sufficiency:
In addition to housing, PVSS employs a highly effective program model for all participants that consists of workshops, classes, counseling, and case management that form the “Three Pillars” of self-sufficiency for families experiencing homelessness.
