Transitional Housing
The Center for Family Justice operates a 15-bed domestic violence transitional safe home for adults and children fleeing their abusive situation. Our Crisis Counselor/Advocates offer support in a secure, non-judgmental environment where families, individuals and children can safety plan, access appropriate services and resources, and work towards an independent-living situation.
Our transitional home offers up to 60 days of emergency shelter for men, women and children. Residents receive advocacy and counseling services from the staff both at CFJ for Family Justice and in the residence.
A network of help
Our transitional home is part of statewide and nationwide networks of safe homes to ensure that immediate safety and ongoing healing are accessible for all victims and survivors regardless of age, race, ethnicity, gender/gender identification or religion. The goal of this residence is to provide culturally- and linguistically-sensitive care and support.
Our transitional home is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, for clients in crisis.
Services provided include:
- Case management to empower clients and help them obtain documentation such as social security cards, Medicaid, and food stamps, in addition to securing employment, child care and immigration assistance;
- Services that encourage self-determination, self-reliance, safety planning and increased awareness of available options;
- Referrals to community support services;
- Assistance with transportation arrangements to jobs, school, medical, mental health and legal appointments, and community services;
