Transitional Living for “Near” Homelessness

Host Craig Lubow interviews John Wiley, Founder of River of Refuge. John talks about the River of Refuge, which provides a transitional living program for people who have been on the verge of homelessness and who have lacked stable housing. The program length of the program varies for each family and is determined by the needs of the individual family. It helps families with budgeting and other basic support needs. The families are sometimes ones that have been living out of motels. The goal is to keep them out of shelters and assist them with finding independent affordable housing at the end of their stay at the River of Refuge. The families must have children living with them, remain drug free, and maintain employment. Www.riverofrefuge.org
