Transitional housing assistance programs in Reno and Washoe County.
When facing an eviction or homelessness, several transitional housing programs are available in Washoe County. The process will normally involve an individual staying in a very short term shelter then moving into a longer term transitional apartment or home. After regaining self-sufficiency, including decent employment, the person will then get help in moving and maybe paying the rent for a new home or apartment.
Resources are provided by non-profits, charities, and even some government agencies in Washoe County. Hundreds of families are supported every year, however everyone will not qualify. The main objective is to always help the client gain self-sufficiency. Then you can get help in finding a new, safe, and affordable home or apartment to move into.
