Transitional Housing
Tenderloin Housing Clinic began offering Transitional Housing in 2015. The Transitional Housing Department runs four separate programs to provide safe and supportive housing for individuals needing stability and support while working to transition into permanent housing.
New Roads Rental Subsidy Program
A Path to Independent Housing
The New Roads Program offers up to 25 working individuals an opportunity for financial support as they work toward independent, permanent housing.
Paying Rent
With a graduated contribution toward their monthly rent at a market-rate residence, New Roads participants have up to two full years of subsidy, or until their supervision ends, to build their earning power and afford rent independently.
Support Services
Housing Planning Specialists work closely with participants to ensure their timely rent payments and to help them gain skills that will assist them in reaching goals such as sobriety, completing probation, or advancing a career.
New Roads Eligibility & Referrals
New Roads is open to APD clients who have current income and will be able to maintain their own rent within 24 months. APD refers eligible clients to THC.
New Horizons Transitional Housing Program
Clean and Sober Transitional Housing
About the Program
New Horizons clients will participate in regular case management, housing planning activities, and income planning in a clean and sober environment for up to 12 months at the Drake Hotel, a converted SRO.
Contributing
New Horizons participants will all work to keep the building clean and comfortable as a community.
Savings Plan
While in the program, clients will set aside a percentage of their income every month to save for their exit plan.
Community
Participants will be encouraged to participate in events and activities taking place in the building and in the neighborhood, to build connections and to contribute to the good of the community.
New Horizons Eligibility
Case managers working with APD may refer clients who are homeless and who meet probation requirements. Only clients who wish to live in clean and sober housing will be referred.
