F. Actions Taken to Develop Transitional Housing Transitional housing is defined as temporary housing available for up to twenty-four (24) months. As part of transitional housing, supportive services are typically also provided. Agencies that have provided transitional housing have done so with the intent of helping return individuals to independent living. As such, there has been an ongoing need for additional transitional housing beds in Central Florida funded by SHP, and nongovernmental funding. In recent years, agencies within the Central Florida Continuum of Care system perceived the need for additional beds for transitional housing for homeless families with children, transitional beds for substance abuse treatment for homeless individuals, and transitional beds for dually diagnosed homeless persons with both mental illness and substance abuse issues. Other special populations, such as those with HIV/AIDS also need transitional housing assistance. In Central Florida, short-term transitional housing for HIV/AIDS clients is funded by HOPWA funds administered by City of Orlando. Agencies offering transitional housing sometimes experience difficulty in obtaining approval for sites for these projects within the general community. As the lead CoC agency, HSN continued to seek scattered site transitional housing to meet local needs. Funding assists with rent subsidies for apartments or single-family homes to increase the number of transitional housing units in the community without the need to actually build additional shelters. Agencies will often negotiate with landlords to find suitable housing for their clients. In the past year, there has been a greater emphasis on moving homeless individuals and families directly into permanent housing within as short a time as possible. While this may impact the need for transitional housing, some individuals and families will continue to require supportive services in order to return to self-sufficiency and independent living.
