HomeStretch Transitional - designed to help homeless families return to housing self-sufficiency

• Program provides 9-12 months of transitional housing partnered with structured, educational assistance.

• Families pay rent based on a sliding scale derived from their household adjusted gross income.

• Each adult member of the family must be employed full-time, drug-free and alcohol-free, and willing to participate in educational sessions.

• Educational sessions include workshops that teach important life skills, such as vocational training and money management.

• Every family receives an average of 400 volunteer hours, provided in part by Family Sponsor Teams.

• Family Sponsor Teams are assigned to every HomeStretch family. These teams are groups of trained volunteers and include personal mentors, resource volunteers and budget advisors.

• The average family pays down $6,000 of debt by the completion of HomeStretch program.

• Three out of four HomeStretch families successfully graduate from our transitional housing program and regain self-sufficiency.

Upon successful completion of the HomeStretch Transitional program, families who need additional time to achieve housing self-sufficiency may qualify for the open-ended, long-term HomeStretch Affordable program.
