The Transitional Living program is a recent innovation and yet a natural progression for The Omaha Home for Boys. Our experience in bringing youths to the threshold of adulthood uniquely qualifies us to help young adults who have problems making the crossing to become self-sufficient adults. Key to the program is the Independent Living Contract, a written expression of the young adult's ability to focus on independent living as the goal of treatment.
Participants reside in an apartment complex a few miles from the Home.
For those who need this assistance, and for the community that benefits from the citizenship of these young adults, the Transitional Living program has been and will continue to be a remarkable success.
