Spring Street Transitional Housing
The Spring Street Transitional Housing Program provides housing and support services to homeless adults with a mental illness. Residents live in one of 7 single-occupancy rooms, each with a sink, medicine cabinet, and refrigerator. Other facilities are shared. There is 24-hour staffing, two meals per day, laundry facilities, and a pay phone for personal use. Residents are considered tenants and are required to pay rent according to HUD requirements.
