About
Family Homeless Shelter and Housing ProgramsTransition House Family Homeless Shelter is Santa Barbara's only comprehensive shelter and anti-poverty program that exclusively serves families with children. Transition House's purpose is to move families to financial independence so that they may acquire permanent housing and live free of public assistance. Transition House provides emergency shelter for 90-120 days to families with children. In addition to shelter, clients receive three meals a day, toiletries, clothing, career counseling, help with parenting skills, referrals to appropriate social service agencies, free licensed childcare, basic medical care by a nurse, and instruction in budgeting and money management. Families are also required to save money towards housing. Over 75% of Transition House families move on to permanent housing. Transition House also offers transitional and permanent housing programs. In 2018, the agency served a total of 355 unduplicated people through its shelter, transitional housing and rapid rehousing programs: 63 percent children and 37 percent adult; 71 percent single-parent households and 29 percent two-parent households; and 70 percent Latino, 22 percent Anglo, 5 percent African American, 1 percent Asian and 1 percent Native American. In 2018, Transition Houses onsite licensed infant care center served 16 babies from very low income families, enabling parents to seek and maintain full time employment as well as acquire and sustain housing. The center also served 15 babies whose families were not low income and able to pay market rate costs, thereby helping to underwrite the cost of scholarships for poor families. All children were tested to assess achievement of industry-accepted developmental milestones. Staff worked with parents providing interventions or referrals for babies who were experiencing delayed development or other health and wellness issues.
