Housing programs: Transition House provides an emergency shelter: a congregate shelter in a residential home-like setting that provides safe, emergency housing and highly skilled 24/7 trauma support for survivors of domestic violence and their children. Support services include: counseling, safety planning, skill building workshops, healthcare access and on-site visiting health care, housing search, childcare advocacy and periodic on-site child care.
