The East Bay Coalition for the Homeless is the only agency in the East Bay
of Rhode Island providing housing for homeless families with children.
Sometimes people need help getting back on their feet because of a lay
off, illness, family break-up, domestic violence or lack of income. To give
them time and a safe-space to get back on their feet and accomplish their
goals, the Coalition operates twelve transitional housing units in East
Providence, Warren and Bristol.
Homeless families apply for the program, which includes shelter for up to
two years together with comprehensive wrap-around services. Each family
works with a case manager to establish short and long term goals. Services
include, but are not limited to case management, life skills counseling,
education, job training, food and nutrition counseling, as well as medical and
mental health referrals and day care programs.
