Since 1989, Teens in Transition has helped homeless and near-homeless youth finish high school, get a job, continue their educations after high school, and plan for an independent future. We help singles or couples -- pregnant, with kids or without. Our case managers and counselors help where it's most convenient for youth -- in schools, in the community and at our offices.
Our services for youth include:
- Bus passes
- Personal-care items, clothing and household goods
- Child care assistance
- Educational and career planning
- Parenting classes
- Employment assistance
- Food boxes
- Government benefits
- Health/medical care
- Independent living skills classes
- Mental health counseling
- Substance-abuse assessment and referral
- Relationship/domestic violence education and counseling
- Pregnancy testing, childbirth education and prenatal care referrals for pregnant and parenting youth in Tucson's 85705 ZIP code
Transitional Housing: We have a number of apartments designed to provide housing for up to two years for qualified youth ages 18-21. This housing program is designed for youth to work, complete educational or vocational goals, save money and transition into a permanent living situation. All youth in this program have access to case-management services. In collaboration with other agencies, we assure that youth find a stable living situation and receive the support services they need.
