T&K Transitional Housing and Residential Services, Corporation is a charitable, 501 (3) C nonprofit that has established a program that focuses on the homeless community by providing supportive services. The focus is on our Veterans, individuals enrolled or released from an alcohol or drug treatment facility, clients in the judicial system that are in the probation program and those that are in need of temporary housing. T&K services include transitional housing, transportation, life skills, health and welfare, residential services and spiritual guidance.
T&K short term goal is to provide temporary housing coupled with supportive services to help clients obtain and sustain permanent housing. The long term goal is to follow up with clients after exiting the program to track their well-being and provide intervention as necessary to ensure clients remain integrated in the community. The overall objective of these goals is to ensure clients maintain self-sufficiency and independence in the community and remain productive citizens.
The program is designed to promote community-wide commitment to the goal of ending homelessness by providing funding for efforts through nonprofit providers at the states, and local levels to quickly house homeless individuals while minimizing the trauma of dislocation. Through partners, T&K will promote access to and effective utilization of mainstream programs for homeless individuals. T&K and its partners will optimize self-sufficiency among individuals and families experiencing homelessness. Continuum of Care Program funds may be used to pay for the eligible costs used to establish and operate projects under five program components: (i) permanent housing, which includes permanent supportive housing and rapid rehousing; (ii) transitional housing; (iii) supportive services only; (iv) Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS), and (v) in some cases, homelessness prevention.
