Transitional Housing
Supportive
transitional housing for homeless adults with multiple disabilities
and for their families
Our
Program
Disabilities
such as substance abuse, mental illness, HIV/AIDS, and vocational
problems often lead adults down a spiral that can end in homelessness
or worse. This is especially tragic when these adults have children
in their care.
Bridgeport Transitional
Housing provides two multi-family homes as transitional housing
for adults with multiple disabilities and their families. While
the crisis of housing is relieved, these families receive clinical,
vocational/educational, medical, and practical services to help
them make the transition to independence. These services are provided
in a community of support and encouragement.
Our objective
is to help families establish themselves as substance-free, self-sufficient
members of society and provide a safe, sober living environment
for children
Services are designed specifically to meet the needs of the client
and, wherever possible, the service is provided at the home.
Services
Client Assessment
and Tracking
A trained case-management
team provides client assessment and tracking. Liberation
Programs' case-managers are experienced in dual-diagnosis, vocational
issues, family, women and child care issues and homelessness.
Vocational/Educational
Services
The vocational/educational/employment
services are a very important component for re-entry into the community.
Clients participate in Employment in Recovery groups and in the
Bureau of Rehabilitation Services employment job training and coaching
program in collaboration with Goodwill Industries.
