Overview of Transitional Housing Program:Queen Anne's County Christian Assistance (QACCA) provides the opportunity for safe, affordable, and long-term housing (possibly up to 24 months) through a structured program called Our Haven Home. The goal of the transitional housing program is to move residents from homelessness or risk of homelessness toward independent living. This is accomplished by completing goals set with a case manager which include but are not limited to counseling, financial management, job attainment, GED and higher education enrollment and completion, childcare security etc.. Our Haven Home is a structured program, and it was developed to assist individuals and families in relocating to permanent housing. By accepting entrance into this program, clients have agreed to work in collaboration with Our Haven Home staff and volunteers. Active collaboration with these folks is an essential part of helping participants empower themselves to move out of homelessness and into family security at all levels - financially, emotionally, intellectually, and spiritually. Our Haven Home is a time limited program.
