Transitional Housing and Re Entry Program at YWCA Druid Heights

The flagship service here is a structured transitional housing program in Baltimore that serves men and women aged 25 and older, especially those exiting the criminal justice system or recovering from substance abuse. While not an inpatient treatment center, it provides stable housing combined with re entry support through the Adult Female Re Entry Program and male re entry stages, helping residents move toward more autonomous living. Key clinical and support features include case management, referrals for detox services, educational opportunities, and life skills and job training.

Services to Build Stability and Independence

Clients in this program can expect a schedule filled with group sessions, workshops and individual planning. Sessions include “Women’s Rap” or “Men’s Rap” monthly support groups, GED or education classes, computer literacy, and employment readiness training. Life skills training such as budgeting, household management, and planning for future housing are emphasized along with peer support and community reintegration. Many participants highlight the supportive environment and sense of structure provided by staff, and successful transitions toward employment and stable housing are frequently noted.

Payment for housing follows a sliding scale or low income fee model. Your costs and eligibility may vary depending on individual circumstances. Insurance coverage is minimal since most services are non medical, and those seeking detox or clinical substance services are referred out to appropriate providers.
