New Orleans and Jefferson Parish transitional housing and homeless shelters.

Find information on low income or free transitional housing programs as well as overnight shelters in the Orleans and Jefferson Parish Louisiana area. The goal of many of the non-profits is to pro-actively prevent evictions and homelessness. If that can’t be done, then the transitional programs can help individuals and families regain housing stability.

As part of the services offered, participants will usually need to attend some form of case management service. This will help the individual obtain a job, improve their financial condition, increase their income, and gain new skills. Families will also be able to work with a specialist on locating a new, affordable home or apartment in the greater New Orleans or surrounding area. As you go through this process, be sure to inquire into financial assistance for paying first month’s rent or a deposit. This rehousing assistance is a key service offered.

Many of the leading non-profits and organization are below. Some of the shelters or housing programs focus on a certain client, such as veterans or women. It is recommended to call for additional details. If a center can’t help you, then they may have referrals to other Jefferson Parish agencies or resources in New Orleans.
