FAMILIES IN TRANSITION
What is the Families in Transition Program
The FIT program provides support services and education to tenants in KVCAP’s

which are handicap accessible.
The Augusta T-house is specifically designed for teen parents, through age
22, who meet the following criteria:
- Homeless or in danger of becoming homeless.

Tenants work with a case manager identifying their needs and setting goals
that move them toward independent living.
