Transitional Housing

Transitional Programs: The Casa de Las Palmas and Phase II program offer residential care for a time period not to exceed 24 months to families working toward a goal of self-sufficiency. Our goal is for families to secure permanent housing and to become independent and self-sufficient.

90-Day Program: The Frederiksen House program provides shelter for homeless families for up to 90 days in the program facility. The goal of this program is to provide stability to the family while giving them the opportunity to secure employment and savings that will assist in establishing permanent housing.
