Transitional Living Program
The Enhanced Horizons transitional living program is designed to help teens and young adults move toward self sufficiency and successful adult living (this includes single mothers with children).
By providing housing, transportation and other services, each young adult is given an opportunity to develop and work on individualized independent living goals in a positive, safe and supportive living environment.
How long is the program? The length of time in the Enhanced Horizons program varies depending on the individual needs of the young adult. To obtain maximum benefit from the program, we anticipate that most residents will stay anywhere from 9 to 18 months.
What is expected of residents? All residents will be required to:
- Participate
in the development of a personal service plan that outlines
the goals and objectives that they hope to accomplish while in the
program.
- Engage in a
minimum of 35 hours per week of productive activities such
as attending school, working a full-time or part-time job,
community service, and/or independent living skills
training.
- Will be
expected to actively seek employment and to work at least
part-time. Residents will pay a small portion of their paycheck for
living expenses and will be expected to save funds during their
stay at Enhanced Horizons.
