Our Program

Champ Homes provides supportive, sober, transitional housing to individuals aged 18 and older on Cape Cod who are homeless or are at risk of homelessness. It is a community of people who benefit from the care, compassion, and the support of others. The organization serves individuals who are struggling with housing instability due to a variety of reasons including the current housing crisis.

Transitional Housing is an intermediate step between emergency shelters and permanent housing. It is more long-term (generally 2 years) and service-intensive than homeless shelters.

Participants work closely with a team of care coordinators to navigate continuing education, access healthcare, housing applications, obtain employment, and learn how to advocate for themselves.

Transitional Housing

in a safe, compassionate, respectful environment.
