Transitional Services

Transitional services are slightly different from housing transition services; they help you plan and prepare for a housing transition up to your actual moving day. Beginning no more than 45 days before your move, we’ll help you with the below services and provide up to $5,000 in financial support. Individuals are only eligible to receive transitional services once every three years.

• Household supplies (e.g., cleaning supplies, dishes, drinking glasses, flatware, pots and pans, sheets, towels). Household items: $500.
• Lease or rental deposits
  Moving expenses (e.g., moving vehicle rental, packing, unpacking)
• Pest and allergen treatment of the home
• Utility set-up fees and deposits
• Window coverings
