Together As One programs in action

Programs

Transitional housing and the services that make it work.

Together As One runs structured transitional housing across our buildings in Los Angeles Service Planning Area 6: enrollment through Coordinated Entry, individualized service plans, and measured exits to permanent housing, wrapped in recovery, behavioral health, employment, and reentry support.

Our flagship · Transitional Housing

The Transitional Housing model.

Transitional housing is time-limited, structured, and accountable, a defined path from the street to a permanent home. Here is the standard every Together As One site holds to.

01

Time-limited & structured

Stays are time-limited, up to 24 months, with a clear path to permanent housing rather than an open-ended bed. Every site holds a Certificate of Occupancy, fire clearance, and HVAC.

02

Enrollment via Coordinated Entry

Every resident enrolls through the LA Coordinated Entry System (CES), is entered into HMIS, and signs an occupancy agreement at intake.

03

Individualized housing & service plan

A plan built with each resident covering housing goals, recovery, income, benefits, and health, reviewed every 30–90 days and updated as they progress.

04

Measured exits to permanent housing

Progress and outcomes are tracked in HMIS: exits to permanent housing, income gains, and returns to homelessness, with six months of follow-up after exit.

Supportive services

The services that keep housing stable.

Housing is the foundation. Recovery, income, health, and family support are how a transitional stay becomes a permanent home, delivered on-site and through clinical and community partners.

Recovery & behavioral health

Recovery housing with behavioral-health support

Recovery-oriented housing with on-site and linked behavioral health, peer support, structure, and warm handoffs to clinical partners when more intensive care is needed.

  • Peer-led recovery groups on-site
  • Structured daily programming in early recovery
  • Referrals to outpatient and residential treatment partners
  • Overdose-prevention (naloxone) training and recovery-oriented relapse response
  • Behavioral-health coordination through clinical and FQHC partners
Employment & income

Income that sustains a home

Housing holds when income follows. We help residents build earned income and secure the benefits they're owed, a direct driver of stable exits.

  • Job-readiness workshops and one-on-one coaching
  • Fair-chance and employer partnerships
  • Earned-income growth tracked over time
  • Benefits advocacy: SSI/SSDI, CalFresh, Medi-Cal
  • Financial stability and money-management support
Reentry housing & services

Welcoming neighbors coming home

Transitional housing plus reentry case management for Angelenos returning from incarceration, stability in the highest-risk window and a path well beyond it.

  • Transitional housing on release, with dedicated case management
  • ID recovery, benefits, and housing navigation
  • Employment readiness and fair-chance employer referrals
  • Family reunification support
  • Coordination with probation and parole requirements
Elder & accessible care

Dignified support for aging residents

Accessible design and relational care for neighbors aging without stable housing, people who need more than a bed.

  • Accessible bedrooms and bathrooms across the portfolio
  • Daily wellness check-ins from trained staff
  • Medication reminders and coordination with medical providers
  • Transportation support for appointments
  • Companionship programming to reduce isolation
Meals & food access

Nutrition for residents and the neighborhood

Daily meals for residents, plus a community food bank that serves any SPA 6 family that needs it, no appointment, no income test, no questions.

  • Daily hot and cold meals for residents
  • Industrial kitchen at 8701 S. Broadway serves meals at scale
  • Weekly grocery distribution for SPA 6 families
  • Home delivery for homebound elders and people with disabilities
  • Dietary accommodations: medical, cultural, religious

A partner in programs

We run a strong operation and help others do the same.

We run strong, accountable programs ourselves, and we open our ready SPA 6 locations to operators who run to the same standard: DV, FQHC, recovery, reentry, youth. More strong programs, sooner.

Accountability

How we measure success.

Exits to permanent housing

The core measure: how many residents move into a permanent home.

Length of stay

Time in transitional housing, kept purposeful and time-limited.

Income & employment gains

Earned income and benefits secured during a resident's stay.

Recovery & service engagement

Participation in recovery, behavioral-health, and supportive services.

Returns to homelessness

Tracked after exit, the truest test of a lasting outcome.

HMIS data quality

Complete, timely, accurate records across every enrollment.
