Transitional Living Program (TLP)
TLP is a federal program providing semi-supervised independent living for homeless and runaway youth. Living in groups of apartments with housemates in a semi-staffed setting, the youth are given appropriate freedom and responsibility in order to prepare them for independence
The Transitional Living Program (TLP) consists of several residential sites located throughout Lehigh and Northampton Counties. Youth reside in apartments with other youth of like age and experience and are under the supervision of a live-in Resident Advisor. All the sites are located in residential neighborhoods within the community.
