HousingPlus offers transitional supportive housing, which like our permanent supportive housing begins with providing housing and complements that with supportive services to allow participants to gain stability. However, these are provided for a limited time, with a view to transitioning participants into permanent housing when they are ready. Our transition programs currently focus on supporting justice-involved women and gender-expansive people. Through our Justice Works program, transitional housing provides an alternative to detention at Rikers and other facilities.
