Transitional Housing
Temporary housing and support for people working toward long-term housing stability.
At Salus, transitional housing provides a supportive, community-based environment where individuals can build skills, strengthen stability, and prepare for more independent housing over time.
Who We Support
Our transitional housing supports individuals who need a more structured environment to move forward.
This includes people who are:
- Leaving hospital or forensic mental health settings
- Experiencing homelessness or housing instability
- Navigating complex mental health and substance use challenges
Many people are working to rebuild routines, relationships, and a sense of stability. Our approach is designed to support this progress.
Why Transitional Housing
For many individuals, moving directly from homelessness, hospitalization, or crisis into fully independent housing can be overwhelming. Rebuilding routines, regaining stability, and navigating daily life often takes time, support, and a safe place to begin again.
Transitional housing helps bridge this gap by providing structured, community-based housing with integrated supports that help individuals stabilize, build skills, and move forward at a pace that reflects their needs.
At Salus, we work closely with healthcare providers, community organizations, and referral partners to ensure supports are coordinated around each individual’s needs and goals.
How Our Transitional Housing Works
Our approach combines structured support with a strong focus on individual growth and recovery.
This includes:
- 24/7 On-site Support: Providing consistency, safety, and day-to-day guidance
- Individual Goal Setting: Supporting people in working toward what matters most to them
- Life Skills Development: Building routines, confidence, and independence
- Community Integration: Strengthening relationships and natural supports
These supports are delivered in collaboration with healthcare providers and community partners, ensuring coordinated care that reflects the full range of each individual’s needs.
Support evolves over time, helping individuals build the skills and stability needed for the next stage of their housing journey.
