FAMILIES IN TRANSITION

What is the Families in Transition Program

The FIT program provides support services and education to tenants in KVCAP’s Augusta Transitional House. This house has 3 individual apartment units, 2 of 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.
• Low income (1/2 of the median income for Kennebec County).
• Teen parents under age 18 must be legally emancipated.

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