One year is the maximum period for the subsidy.  Limited funding available.
  
  
  
• TRANSITIONAL HOUSING SERVICES:  Housing counselors offer clients guidance in areas of education and employment, provide referrals to other helpful agencies, and assist them in their efforts to regain entry into mainstream society.
