Transitional Housing - short term

A home for 3-6 months while families work towards finding long term housing and employment (if applicable).  While in our program families contribute up to 20% of their cash income towards a monthly Program Fee. This small fee helps the parents participate in their own stability and allows Way Back Inn to provide a positive housing reference when the family is ready to move on.

Transitional Housing - long term*

Families reside in one of our homes for up to 24 months while they are finishing an educational or job training program. The families are able to work on long-term goals while knowing their children will be warm, safe and stable. Long-term families also contribute up to 20% of their cash income towards a monthly Program Fee. This small fee helps the parents participate in their own stability and allows Way Back Inn to provide a positive housing reference when the family is ready to move on.
