The Transitional Housing Program provides support and therapeutic services to families residing in the Della Gill/Joyce H. Williams Center for up to 24 months.  This program utilizes the core values of strength based case management to assist survivors in becoming self-sustainable.  No matter where they come from, our case managers help them  see past their crisis and embrace their future, a future that is violence free.

 

During their two years in Transitional Housing, a woman and her children continue to benefit from Della Gill/Joyce H.
