Transitional Living Program

Transitional Living Program

The Transitional Living Program helps youth between the ages of 18 and 21 bridge the gap between homelessness and self-sufficient living. Youth experiencing homelessness or at risk are provided housing and support to attain education and employment goals and develop life skills.

If you are a young person, 18-21, who is experiencing – or at risk of experiencing –homelessness, the Transitional Living Program (TLP) can help.

TLP is a 12-18 month program to provide safe housing and support to help you move to successful, self-sufficient, independent living. As a TLP resident, you get support finding or keeping a job, and finishing your high school education or the equivalent. Our staff also helps you build life skills so you can learn to live independently and connects you to the resources you need. You contribute a portion of your income to savings, participate in life skills groups, and meet weekly with a TLP care coordinator to work on reaching your goals.

Waypoint Launches a First-in-the-Nation Program to Prevent Youth Homelessness

Sometimes all it takes is an unaffordable car repair or a high heating bill to start a spiral that results in homelessness.

Opinion: Criminalizing homelessness is a heartless response to a complex issue

The Grants Pass decision does nothing to solve the problem of homelessness. Simply because an unhoused person has no option other than sleeping on a park bench or in a tent on a public sidewalk, they could now be issued citations with fines they cannot pay and may face a future that is forever hampered by a criminal record. When our society should be extending a helping hand, we are instead delivering a slap in the face.

Johnson Vs. Grants Pass Ruling Statement

On Friday, the Supreme Court issued a ruling that opens the door to fining and incarcerating individuals experiencing homelessness for sleeping outside. Waypoint is deeply disappointed in this decision.
