homeless men, women and families. Transitional housing offers long-term housing, supplemental food
assistance, on-site case management, counseling services, and referrals to other area agencies in an
effort to help clients become self-sufficient and get back on their feet. Recent changes in Federal
Funding resources have shifted from transitional housing facility to rapid rehousing type programs. As
such, funds for transitional housing programming were not awarded for the current funding cycle
beginning June 1, 2016. Funds for the off-site Project Warmth program are intact.
