About Transitional Housing Programs

The goal of each region’s Transitional Housing Programs (THP) is to encourage independence and self-sufficiency for transitional age youth (TAY) with complex challenges and assist in their transition out of the Foster Care system. Pacific Clinics welcome youth who have co-occurring mental health and substance use issues and works closely with them to provide stability while supporting them in a journey toward wellness, recovery and independence.

Equipping Youth for Independence

All young people entering our THPs have a private room in a shared two-bedroom apartment. Apartments come furnished with the basic necessities of living so youth can focus on their wellness, recovery, academic and/or employment goals. Depending on the region, our THP staff offers various coaching opportunities around issues and topics fundamental to successful independent living, including several of the following opportunities, depending on the region:

Budget and money management
Roommate, neighbor and social living skills
Substance use behavioral change coaching
Emotional and mental health symptom management skills
Food, nutrition and cooking
Health, hygiene and self-care
Household maintenance
Relationships and interpersonal communication
Personal goal setting
Positive school and work habit development
Medical care coaching
Future housing planning
Transportation tutorials
Career development and employment options
Educational opportunities and financial aid

Our teams work closely with our youth clients, their family and community partners to provide trauma-informed care to appropriately treat multiple needs with individualized services. The client’s voice and choice is the driver behind the service plans. Our approach is strength-based, needs-driven, respecting the unique background and aspirations of each person.

Our THP teams honor the youth’s stage of readiness for change and provide appropriate support in achieving their goals. Our clients may receive one or more of the following types of support as they move toward independence:

Interventions for complex needs and co-occurring disorders
Time-limited supportive housing
On-site case management services
Encouragement of follow-up treatments
Life skills training and education
Linkage to community resources such as food stamps, social security, education and employment, career exploration, substance abuse treatment, medical treatment, legal services and recreational activities and more.
