Transitional Independent Living

Transitional Independent Living (TIL) Programs provide homeless youth (16-20 years of age) with support and shelter as they work to establish an independent life. All Transitional Independent Living Programs are open 24 hours a day, 365 days per year. A young person in need of these longer-term residential services must first visit our Crisis Shelter and obtain a referral to Transitional Independent Living Programs.  Youth may stay in the Transitional Independent Living Program for up to 18 months.  Services offered at TILs include:

  • Educational programs
  • Vocational training
  • Job placement assistance
  • Counseling
  • Basic life skills training
