Domus Transitional Housing
Domus transitional housing offers homeless women shelter and support services
Domus Transitional Housing, located in St. Cloud, provides a temporary home plus support services to women whose lives are in transition. Typically, homeless women with custody of minor children and single women come to Domus to make a positive change in their lives.
Residents live in a mutually supportive community. The house accommodates up to 16 single residents who occupy their own private bedrooms and share the living space. Single women may stay for up to 3 months. Women with children are given priority and may occupy the limited number of one- and two-bedroom apartments especially designed for families. These residents may stay for up to 6 months. Each resident is responsible for their own groceries, cooking, and cleaning in addition to their work toward self-sufficiency.
The women in the program participate in activities designed to help them make changes leading to independent living. Staff advocates and case workers offer their advocacy and professional expertise toward the development of a Personal Self-sufficiency Plan. In addition, the women are required to:
- work or attend school full time
- work to secure: education, employment, and permanent housing
- work to access: counseling, and financial, legal, personal assistance
Fees and Referrals
Monthly fees are determined on a sliding scale based upon personal income. Residents pay 30% of their income toward the program. Entrance into the program is made possible only through direct referrals by an Independent Services Provider.
