Housing Retention Services
At Homeless Solutions, the support doesn’t end when you walk out of the shelter or Transitional Housing Program. Studies have shown that formerly homeless families are at increased risk of cycling back into homelessness between 14-20 months following a shelter stay. Our goal is to break the cycle of homelessness. One of the ways we do that is by continuing to support our program graduates long after they’ve left our programs.
By providing supports for up to two years after program completion we are able to help our former guests maintain their life skills, successfully manage their finances, and build upon the foundation of stability they created while at Homeless Solutions. In 2023, 98% of households in our Family Support Housing program remained housed.
Many of the individuals and families in our supportive housing program are living in the Morris County community. They are your local baristas, cashiers, teachers’ aides, medical office clerks, and bus drivers. They are your neighbors. The supports and assistance we are able to provide them, keep them in their homes.
In the spring of 2024, we were able to expand the supportive housing program portfolio to include our Women’s Campus where up to 32 single women can live in shared housing with proper case management supports.
