Discharged residents' satisfaction with transitional housing for the homeless.
One year following discharge from a transitional residential program, homeless women, some of whom were chemically dependent or mentally ill, indicated that they were satisfied with the program and that it had met their needs. Suggestions for improvement related primarily to greater flexibility of rules in the transitional residence. Most of the women had improved their housing situation since discharge; all of the women continued to maintain a home for their children.
