Permanent Housing4 is community-based housing with no time limit on how long an individual can reside in the housing or receive housing assistance, living as independently as possible. This includes Permanent Supportive Housing as well as housing owned or rented by the client.

Transitional Housing is designed to provide homeless individuals and families with the interim stability and support to successfully move to and maintain permanent housing. Transitional housing is time limited with clients staying up to 24 months in the housing, typically with accompanying supportive services. Individuals must have a lease (or sublease) or occupancy agreement in place when residing in transitional housing.

Institutional Housing5 is any facility whose primary purpose is to provide 24-hour care, treatment, and/or supervision. This includes psychiatric treatment facilities, juvenile detention centers, jails, prisons, foster care home settings, substance abuse treatment facilities, detox centers, long-term care facilities, and nursing homes.

Emergency Housing is any facility whose primary purpose is to provide temporary or transitional shelter for the homeless in general or for specific populations of the homeless (e.g. domestic violence shelters, human trafficking shelters, etc.); also referred to as Short-Term or Temporary Housing.

Lack of Adequate Training indicates that the organization needs training at all levels including on confidentiality, outreach methods, cultural/religious competency, methods to identify victims, etc.
