General Information:
Housing assistance for women. HER is aimed at increasing the availability of and access to housing and economic resources for all women, especially those who have been denied equal opportunities because of economic, social, racial and cultural barriers. HER believes that it is vital for women to have a community forum of their own through which they can become vocal and visible in housing and economic development so as to have the opportunity to determine the future of their own lives. We would like to invite members of the facets of the community of women to join us in accomplishing the goals of the agenda. HER, Inc owns an apartment building in Holyoke that includes a transitional housing for homeless teen mothers and a rooming house in Northampton.

Helpful Definitions For Housing And Economic Resources For Women:
Transitional housing is affordable supportive housing designed to provide housing and appropriate support services to persons who are homeless or who are close to homelessness. The transition is to help them be more self sufficient to move towards independent living on their own. Transitional housing locations are oftentimes called Halfway Houses. The naming of the two (Halfway House OR Transitional House) is oftentimes interchangeable.

Many Transitional Housing programs are subsidized and are income based. Income based transitional housing generally charges 30% of your income for rent when you do have income. Contact the transitional housing facility to see if this applies.

Services provided at transitional housing facilities varies from substance abuse treatment, to psychological assistance, job training, domestic violence assistance, etc. The assistance provided varies, but it is generally affordable and low cost housing. Read the descriptions of each of the transitional living locations for more detailed information. Transitional housing facilities also may or may not assist with alcohol and/or drug substance abuse treatment.Rooming House or Boarding House A rooming house is a building in which renters occupy single rooms and share kitchens, bathrooms, and common areas. The location may be a converted single family home, a converted hotel, or a purpose built structure. Rooming houses may have as few as three rooms for rent, or more than a hundred. The same goes for boarding houses. We list these types of residences throughout ShelterListings.org.
