Transitional Housing in Tyler, TX

Those in need of transitional housing can get it from several different places. One option is through a local group home. However, it is important to note that there are some differences between group homes and transitional housing. One option, called "refugio houses," provides resources for people suffering from substance use disorders. This option offers a sense of community and accountability. Another option is through a sober living home.

Sometransitional housing programs charge a monthly fee, and others are subsidized. The monthly payment at an income based transitional housing facility is usually around 30% of the resident's income. In addition to providing shelter, these programs provide assistance in getting a job, developing savings, and receiving physical and mental health services.
