Housing: Transitional

Transitional housing usually lasts 12-weeks and is accessed through Work and Income. You should be moved into more permanent housing by the end of your stay, but the provider should continue supporting you for another 12 weeks after you‘ve moved out.

In certain situations, you might be able to stay longer than 12-weeks as long as your provider agrees.
