What is Transitional Housing?

Transitional housing is not long-term housing. The purpose of transitional housing is to help tenants stabilise their circumstances so that they can move on to more appropriate long-term accommodation. This may be in the private market or social housing.

If you accept a transitional housing offer from Home in Place, you will be required to enter into a tenancy agreement with us.

As part of your agreement, we will help develop a tenancy plan with you to assist you to access suitable long-term housing – this may be in long-term community housing or transition to the private rental market. This tenancy plan will also help to identify housing options that are available to you based on your housing needs and circumstances.
