ABOUT FAMILIES in TRANSITION

Families in Transition was established in 1991 as a housing organization for low-income families. Since its humble beginnings with one building, it has expanded to 18 buildings of housing to become one of the largest affordable housing organizations in the state. In 2018, Families in Transition merged with New Horizons for New Hampshire, an organization which has served homeless individuals since 1973. Around this same time, Families in Transition merged with a substance use treatment program, now known as Willows Treatment Center.

Families in Transition is one of the largest homeless services organizations in New Hampshire with locations in Manchester and Concord. It provides innovative and effective interventions specifically designed to help individuals and families break the cycle of homelessness and lead healthy and successful lives.
