By definition, emergency <br /> shelters and transitional housing units are not permanent housing. They offer sleeping <br /> space on a time-limited basis. The Macon County Homeless Council has adopted the <br /> following definitions: <br /> Emergency She/ter is short term housing. It is characterized by the absence <br /> of a lease, and semi-private or communal living space. The programs and <br /> services a►�e targeted at meeting basic needs (e.g., food, shelter, public <br /> assistance income). <br /> Transitional Housing is medium-term housing. It is characterized by stays of <br /> up to 24 months, month-to-month leases, and private living space for each <br /> individual or family. The programs and services use intensive case <br /> management, and they are targeted at steadily increasing self-su�ciency and <br /> independence (e.g., employment training, education, life skills). <br /> By contrast, permanent supportive housing is characterized by open-ended leases or <br /> subleases, affordability, and the ongoing presence of supportive services. <br /> with shared bathing and/or cooking facilities often create operational problems and tenant conflicts. <br /> PAGE 19 <br />
