That’s why I created this resource — to help you find affordable transitional housing in Houston, as well as independent living in Houston and personal care homes in Houston.
My name is Nick Bryant, creator of the Houston Case Managers Academy, where I show people like you how to find low-cost housing in the city.

What Is Transitional Living (in Houston)?
Transitional living is a type of housing meant to bridge the gap between homelessness, crisis situations, or unstable housing and permanent, independent living.
These programs offer affordable housing in a safe environment while providing supportive services that help you become more self-sufficient. While many transitional living spaces cater to those who are rebuilding their lives, you might also find some independent living options on this list.
Who Should Use Transitional Living Spaces?
Transitional living spaces are ideal for a variety of individuals who need a supportive, affordable place to stay while they work on their personal goals:
-
Those on low-income SSI checks: If you’re receiving an SSI payment of $800 to $1500, transitional living can be a realistic housing option within your budget.
-
Individuals with disabilities: If you have a disability but can manage most daily activities independently, these facilities provide a safe and supportive environment.
-
People recently incarcerated: Reentering society after incarceration is challenging, and transitional housing can be a stepping stone to permanent housing.
-
Those just arriving in Houston: If you’re new to the city and need a temporary but affordable place to live, transitional housing can help you get started.
These facilities can serve as a stable launching pad while you build a more permanent foundation for yourself.

You must visit and ask hard questions. So many are disgusting. The Nigerians have worked out how to maximise a 3 bed home so it has 3 people to a room and each being charged $2,000 Its a rip off. Do not leave your loved ones here. Take them home and get them better.
