Our Transitional Living Program (TLP) provides youth transitional housing and wraparound support for 18–24-year-olds at imminent risk of or experiencing homelessness. With 16 scattered-site apartments, TLP serves 20 young people—half of whom are young single parents—helping them move from crisis to long-term stability. Participants choose their own affordable apartment, sign a lease, and receive a partial rent subsidy for up to three years, all while building independent living skills and financial resilience.
from homelessness to stability
transitional Living Program: Housing for Young Adults
What THE TRANSITONAL LIVING PROGRAM OFFERS:
Participants select a safe, affordable apartment in the community. MoveFwd covers a portion of rent for up to three years, ensuring a stable home base while young adults work toward independence.
Affordable Scattered-Site Housing
Our Transition Living Program (TLP) Case Managers provides ongoing support—helping youth learn to budget, cook, clean, and navigate landlord relationships. Through monthly independent living skills groups, participants hone practical skills like job readiness, credit building, and positive rental history.
Case Management & Life Skills Coaching
Managing trauma, establishing healthy relationships, and building parenting skills—critical for the TLP participants who are young single parents.

Move Forward therapists offer free, trauma-informed mental health services tailored to each participant’s needs.
Therapeutic Support
We connect youth to job training and employment opportunities, empowering them to increase their income, build a résumé, and secure financial independence.
Income & Employment Guidance
Monthly group sessions create a supportive community where participants can share challenges, celebrate successes, and build lasting connections with peers and staff.
Community & Peer Support
"My case manager taught me to take care of my living spaces. Learning how to budget rent as well as wants/needs was important."
"I’m thankful for being able to find an apartment and do everything that goes with that."
"I’m proud of not giving up on work and setting goals for myself."
what youth are saying
Especially for young single parents and individuals without a strong support system. Lack of stable housing and guidance in independent living skills, many at-risk youth cycle in and out of shelters. Our Transitional Living Program (TLP) breaks that cycle by providing a safe apartment, wraparound case management, and access to mental health care—all designed to create a pathway to self-sufficiency.
By combining youth transitional housing with counseling, life skills training, and financial support, we ensure participants not only find a home but also develop the tools and confidence to maintain it. At program’s end, they either remain in their current apartment or move to housing of their choice—ready to live fully independently.
