Shelter's Transitional Living Program (TLP) is a two-year, voluntary program for young people ages 17-21 who are assigned male at birth. It helps residents achieve self-sufficiency and independence.Young people join TLP because they want to lead the everyday, healthy, productive life they were denied through no fault of their own. They often come to TLP lacking the basic life skills that most take for granted, like budgeting finances, applying for a job, grocery shopping, or even doing the laundry. TLP teaches these and other vital, foundational lessons.
