Why It Matters:

The lack of services in the community and county calls for actions that focus on stabilizing homeless individuals for the future, rather than just housing them for a short period and sending them back into the same situation they came from.

The solution to homelessness is not just to give someone a place to sleep for a night or a week. It involves finding long-term solutions to a problem that has persisted for far too long, such as providing a safe, stable housing foundation.

The homeless population needs resources, training, and skills to not only make it through a day or a month after being housed, but to move forward and secure their own housing. This is the ultimate goal that SCWC is fighting for. Placing band-aids on a problem that keeps resurfacing is not a sustainable solution; the homeless cycle must be broken.

This is why the Transitional Housing program is critical because it provides a homeless mother and her children with the opportunity to stay temporarily in a safe and secure housing environment for two years. During their stay, they are provided with the necessary tools to become self-sufficient and provide for their family.
