WHAT WE DO
TRANSITIONAL HOUSING
Good News Homes provides Transitional Housing for families in the Oldham – Trimble County communities. Through transitional housing our families live paying a low-cost rent for up to a year while participating in a life skills program which includes budgeting, job skills, and other services as needed.
PREVENTION & REFERRAL
Good News Homes seeks to assist homeless and at-risk for homeless families in our communities by referring to other services in the area as needed, providing a listening ear and encouragement to consider other supports when we cannot provide housing.
