I lived in transitional housing for about 18 months, when I couldn't afford my own place, and needed the support to stay sober, and get it together mentally. Transitional housing is typically for people who have been homeless and are preparing to move into their own place.

I had my own room, which was quite large, but shared a bathroom with 6 other women. Meals were prepared at a set time, and we all ate together, you got no say over the food - it was take it or leave it, but it was generally healthy and well prepared.

We had a computer room, and a TV room/living room with comfortable couches and chairs.

Some of the staff were great, other's sucked.

We all had to do chores to keep the place clean.

It helped me a lot when I needed it, but I was glad to move out.
