  1. The Transition House, Inc. Thomas J. Griffin, CEO Founder

  2. History • TTHI began as a small, 12 bed halfway house for males recovering from the disease of chemical dependency. Since that date we have gradually grown into the complete social service agency that we are today. Currently we have the capacity to house 243 clients in our long term residential treatment programs and also in our affordable permanent supportive housing program. The majority of our clients come from the Central Florida area, but we receive referrals and individuals from all over the country.

  3. Location: 4596 W Irlo Bronson Highway Kissimmee (Victory Village)

  4. Location: 4596 W Irlo Bronson Highway Kissimmee (Victory Village) • Victory Village is a multi unit, long term affordable housing project that TTHI spearheaded in conjunction with Osceola County. • The project started as a run down 1970’s era hotel located along the west 192 corridor. • The existing facility was renovated into 20 apartments with a mix of 1,2, and 3 bedroom units.

  5. In 2012, Osceola County contracted with Transition House as part of NSP to provide twenty affordable multifamily • rental units. Victory Village, a former 54 room motel, has been converted into one to three bedroom apartments; two units are fully handicap assessable. The rental rates offered at Victory Village, a Transition House development, are below the fair market rental rate for Osceola County. These units are available to eligible households with in- comes of 80% or below the area median income. • Nineteen of the twenty families currently living at Victory Village have received rental deposit assistance through SHIP with twenty percent of the units at Victory Village occupied by families that have members with a disa- bility status. In addition, some of the rental clients received first month’s rent through the county administered Community Development Block Grant Program (CDBG) and/or the Emergency Solutions Grant. Another partner, Habitat for Humanity for Osceola County has donated furniture to the assisted rental residents since many of them came from the motels and did not have furnishings of their own. • Up to $1,500 of SHIP funding can be provided in rental deposit assistance to qualified families in the form of a grant. If a client assisted through SHIP decides to move out of the unit, Osceola County has an agreement with the developer and manager of the property, Transition House to have the unused portion of the rental deposit returned to the program. This will recycle SHIP funds and create a source of future funding to help future rental clients. • The combination of services funded through several different grant programs along with the assistance of- fered through area partners like Habitat for Humanity for Osceola County has helped many at-risk families find af- fordable housing in Osceola County
