What is the difference between a shelter and a transitional home?
Each shelter and transitional home has different length of stay policies. Emergency shelters tend to be more short term and provide housing to those who have lost their homes due to fire, flood, or other tragedies. The length of stay can be day to day or by the month. However, some shelters can provide housing to a family for up to a year or more. Transitional housing is an in-between step from living in a homeless shelter and living in a more permanent, public housing facility (renting or owning).
