Transition House Programs
Transitional Living Program (TLP)
In 1982, Transition House opened its doors and began providing services through the Transitional Living Program. This program of supervised apartment living empowers the development of essential life skills while providing support. The mission of the Transitional Living Program is to assist and support adults with serious mental illness as they make the transition from high acuity, vulnerable life periods (that may include suicide attempts, being unhoused, extreme poverty, legal issues, and in-patient treatment), to community living by providing supervised apartment living that promotes recovery through the development of community living skills, pre-vocational and vocational skills, socialization and recreational skills while providing support during challenging times.
If you are ready to do the work on your healing and recovery in a program that focuses on support, skills development and accountability, follow the link below for more information on the TLP screening and application process.
Community OUtreach Program (COP)
In 1988, Transition House responded to the needs of the People of Transition House for additional support after the Transitional Living Program by developing the Community Outreach Program. This program provides opportunities for on-going socialization/recreational activities, support, and crisis intervention. The mission of the Community Outreach Program is to provide former Transitional Living Program clients as well as other adults with serious mental illness or co-occurring disorders (mental illness and substance abuse) access to supportive services that help them advance and maintain their recovery through socialization and recreational opportunities, community living supportive counseling services, and crisis intervention.
