About
Transitional Living Center - Transitional Housing Services During 2018-2019, the Wellness Works Transitional Living Center (TLC) housed 36 persons from a variety of backgrounds and housing needs. Many of our clients came to us from jail or on probation or parole. Some were already in drug treatment programs, or they started services once they had reliable housing at the TLC. Several of those people either bailed on the program to go live with friends or relatives, went back to using drugs and living on the streets, or were incarcerated, either on new charges or on probation violations. Most clients were also required to have a job while housed at the TLC, and most were required to take job prep and financial/money management educational modules (unless they were on a fixed income and awaiting permanent housing elsewhere) based on their needs and program objectives. Some of our clients successfully graduated their drug treatment programs, got jobs, and started paying their own housing costs at the TLC. They later left the TLC when they were successful in finding their own housing and were prepared to pay their own bills. Some of our clients were homeless, sleeping in their cars in the middle of the wintertime with nowhere to go to get out of the cold. Those people were referred to us by other agencies. The TLC worked with those agencies to help the clients apply for services, obtain ID, and get into treatment programs and other services while they waited for permanent housing. Most were able to get into permanent housing within 1-3 mos. of being in our program. Others left the program to stay with relatives or return to the streets. About 25% were Millennials (25-40-something year-olds) who had gotten out on their own, had their own place, a job, families, etc.. Then they had multiple or felony DUIs or got addicted to drugs and were now clean, or for whatever reason, just couldn't rebound and get back on their on feet. Many had families who would not allow them back to their homes or to see their kids. TLC staff transported them to job interviews, gave them a regimen of educational modules to help them gain the job skills needed to get a job again and the financial management skills to be back on their own. Staff helped them set up a checking account, prepare a budget, and get back on track paying their bills. We also helped them save enough money to pay off fines, fees, program charges, etc., for their legal and treatment program responsibilities and to save up enough money to get their own place after they got the rest of their criminal fees paid. Staff drove them back and forth to work after they were able to obtain employment and provided full mentorship and support until they regained the life skills necessary to be self-sufficient on their own and relearned how to manage money reliably enough to pay their housing costs and other bills once they were on their own.
