Pivotal Point Transitional Housing program is Christ-centered, assisting working individuals or single-parent families in Buchanan County and surrounding areas. We provide rent- and utility-free, fully-furnished apartments for those facing housing insecurity or homelessness. Our program is a short-term transitional program of 90 days, where participants are encouraged to pay off debt and build a savings, with the ultimate goal of obtaining permanent housing. While living in a Pivotal Point apartment, residents sign a written contract to participate in our transitional housing program and agree to follow the rules and guidelines.

Because our program is based on full-time employment, it is important that applicants already have a job or offer letter reflecting a start date prior to acceptance into the program. Our rigorous educational components focus on budgeting, life skills, community living, and case management services. Once you have completed the application in its entirety, a case manager will contact you to explain the program, your eligibility, and the next steps in the interview process.

Eligibility Requirements 

Throughout your stay at Pivotal Point, the following qualifiers must be maintained:

• Be employed full-time (35 or more hours per week).
• Commit to following a personalized weekly budget plan decided on by you and your case manager.
• Attend weekly case management sessions. Meetings will be scheduled around work and school commitments, within a 9am to 5pm timeframe.
• Attend a Life Skills class every Tuesday evening at 6:30pm, which will be held on-site. You may need to speak to your employer about scheduling, as this is a required component of the program.
• Complete assigned community chores each week.
• Follow and adhere to all rules, guidelines, and expectations listed in the Handbook and Right to Deny Service agreement.
• Undergo a background screening prior to acceptance.*

*Having a criminal history does not necessarily disqualify an applicant from being accepted into the program and depends largely on the nature of the conviction.
