The Boulder Shelter for the Homeless Transitional Housing Program provides housing and case management services for individuals and families for up to 2 years.

Clients accepted into the program must be homeless or at imminent risk of becoming homeless, have some source of sustainable income, be able to live independently, and have the ability and resources to secure stabilized housing within 2 years.

Each transitional housing client must be referred by one of the collaborating agencies.  The referring agency provides the client with case management services for two years or until the client transitions into stable housing; whichever occurs first. The eight referring agencies are:

• The Boulder Shelter for the Homeless
• Center for People with Disabilities
• The Mental Health Center Serving Boulder and Broomfield Counties
• Emergency Family Assistance Association
• Safehouse Progressive Alliance for Nonviolence
• Safe Shelter of St. Vrain Valley
• Integrated Treatment Court
• Boulder County AIDS Project

The program has 12 condominiums in Boulder.  Rent starts at $225 a month and won’t exceed 30% of a household income. Clients pay rent and utilities, and work closely with case managers to reach individual goals.  Historically, over 75% of the Transitional Housing Program clients move into safe, stable housing within two years.
