Transitional Housing Program

The Service Intensive Transitional Housing (SITH) Program helps veterans transition from homelessness to permanent, independent housing. Through individualized housing plans, workforce development, financial literacy, employment support, and case management, veterans receive the tools and resources they need to build stable, self-sufficient lives.

At this time, The Baltimore Station serves male veterans experiencing homelessness. However, we are excited to expand our services by opening our new Women’s Transitional Housing Program on October 1st 2026. This program will provide safe, supportive housing for women veterans experiencing homelessness, with private bedrooms and bathrooms, shared living spaces, and access to the same comprehensive clinical, recovery, and workforce development services that have helped our male veterans rebuild their lives for more than 37 years.

The SITH Program serves veterans experiencing homelessness or housing instability who are ready to work toward permanent housing, employment, and greater independence. Each veteran is assessed individually to determine eligibility and develop a personalized service plan.

Veterans can be referred by VA Medical Centers, healthcare providers, social workers, community organizations, family members, or by contacting The Baltimore Station directly. Our staff will complete an assessment and help determine the most appropriate program. A qualified veteran can typically enter our program within 24 hours of a referral.

A veteran can stay in our transitional housing program for up to two years. However, the length of stay varies depending on each veteran’s progress toward permanent housing, employment, and individual goals. Our team works closely with every participant to ensure they have the support needed before transitioning into independent living.

The Baltimore Station provides comprehensive workforce development services, including career assessments, job readiness coaching, resume assistance, interview preparation, vocational training referrals, apprenticeships, educational support, and ongoing employment coaching. Services are tailored to each veteran’s skills, interests, and career goals.
