Through the housing program, families are connected to services including early childhood education, economic mobility services, clinical counseling, and health and well-being services, as well as access to benefits such as SNAP or health insurance.
Case Managers provide strength-based, client-driven case management through a trauma-informed lens, enhancing the client’s ability to increase income and create housing stability. Case Managers support families on their way to permanent housing that supports self-sufficiency through:
The Center for Transforming Lives (CTL) Emergency Shelter Program provides a safe and welcoming environment to pregnant and single mother families with children up to age 3.
Supportive services include service planning and assessments, strength-based trauma informed intensive case management, clinical counseling for the family unit, career coaching, employment assistance, and financial coaching through our Economic Mobility Services programs.
CTL’s onsite Transitional Housing (TH) Program serves pregnant and single-mother families with children up to age 3 that are experiencing homelessness, in need of treatment services and long-term supportive housing.
CTL’s onsite TH Program has a bed capacity of 15 units, a communal kitchen, living room, and laundry facility. CTL’s community-based TH Program also has rental units within Tarrant County.
CTL’s Family Housing, or "Rapid Rehousing" (RRH), Program provides Housing Services to families and their children within Fort Worth and Arlington through rent support and free access to CTL’s other programs, like Economic Mobility and Early Childhood Education.
Our Rapid Rehousing applications are managed solely through Tarrant County Homeless Coalition. Access to Rapid Rehousing is through shelter. If you’re experiencing unsheltered homelessness in places like streets, parks, and camps throughout Tarrant County, visit the links below.
Our Emergency Shelter is often the first line of defense for homeless women experiencing violence. Statistics show that women in poverty are much more likely to stay with their abusers longer and return to them sooner because of financial barriers. CTL’s Housing Services are intentionally paired with Economic Mobility support and trauma-informed counseling that works to end cycles of poverty, trauma, and abuse.
We are unwavering in our work to provide safe environments and act as a partner in
healing for women and children who are victims of violence.
