Project Transition Housing (PTH) provides new housing to low income women with children that are victims of homelessness with histories of substance abuse, domestic violence, and/or incarceration. The program receives referrals from community agencies and completes a thorough assessment to determine eligibility and ability to be successful in the program.

PTH supportive services include parenting skill workshops, living skills workshops, and mandatory monthly meetings. Employment assistance, emergency needs, and referral assistance are also offered to clients. Household goods, clothing and furniture donations are arranged through collaborating assistance programs. The ultimate goal of this program is for the families served to become self sufficient and productive members of the community.

Matrix Human Services has partnered with eighteen area human service agencies to help to re-build neighborhoods in Detroit. Community partnerships with Traveler’s Aid, Elmhurst House, Interim House and SHAR House, to name a few, have made available seven sites that are now housing over 80 families. Additional sites are under construction with occupancy targeted at different times throughout 2006.
