TRANSITIONAL HOUSING

 Transitional housing programs have traditionally been located in dedicated, building-specific environments with more shared space and less private space than permanent housing surroundings.  

Case managers are also responsible for addressing difficulties that may prevent the homeless from accessing livable housing alternatives in other housing programs. Credit history, arrears, or any other legal concerns are examples of these impediments. Case managers are also the ones who negotiate favorable lease agreements with landlords on behalf of the homeless.
