Transitional Housing program (thp)
THP provides safe and stable living arrangements for homeless youth who are actively involved in school and/or employment, requiring them to allocate 30% of their income towards rent, which is reimbursed upon program completion. Serving as a crucial link between emergency shelter and achieving permanent self-sustained housing, THP offers a transitional period for young individuals to learn the responsibilities of managing a home.
