Families In Transition works with families with children throughout Santa Cruz County who are homeless or at risk of homelessness. A variety of housing strategies are provided to support families in securing safe and stable homes for their families. A range of opportunities are available depending upon family situation.

Options include:  Assistance with Housing Search for Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher holders, one time rental assistance payments to prevent eviction or obtain housing, time limited phased rental assistance, housing scholarships while a parent is completing a job training program, transitional housing for up to 18 months, shared supportive housing for parents in recovery, low-interest loans for working families, and home visiting services linking families with young children to local family resource centers.

All programs and services focus on the development of an individual plan of action to promote financial independence, healthy child development, and increased family well-being.
