It is a safe residence for you and your children to go to if you are in an unsafe home environment, in an abusive relationship, homeless or at risk of homelessness. Transitional Homes are NOT emergency shelters, we do not operate 24/7 and recommend contacting 911 or 211 for immediate help. Transition homes are usually regular houses; however, the address is not available to the public to ensure the safety of the women and children staying there.

Yes, you can bring your children but they must also be able to follow the rules and responsibilities of the house.

The duration of stay is determined on a case by case basis, however it is usually between 1-3 months.
