Our SAIL program (Sustaining Achievements for Independent Living), formerly known as the Transitional Living program, supports families transitioning from shelter into permanent housing by providing resources that assist them in establishing long-term stability and independence.
The process begins while families are still in shelter. Once employment is secured and families are showing progress in their shelter goals, they establish a projected budget for living in the community. We then help them develop a housing plan to determine future options that are safe and affordable.
Finally, we assist families in searching for apartments and accessing community resources that help with first month’s rent and security deposits. When families are ready to move in, we also reach out to other local nonprofits and the FPM network for support in collecting household goods, furniture, and supplies.
