Making A Difference in Kern County – Restoring and empowering women to a dignified and purposeful life in Christ.

Transitional Living

Building Independence
with Support

After experiencing a year of rejuvenating their mind, body, and spirit, graduates will have the opportunity to enroll in our transitional living program completing a holistic journey towards independence and stability. Here, women will acquire job skills, develop financial stewardship, set goals, and continue their education through partnerships with the Kern Community Foundation internship program, CityServe Collaborative certificates, Summit Bible College, attain their GED, or other college degrees. Our graduates have excelled at KTH, saving money for housing and transportation while residing in our safe, secure, and supportive environment and then effectively making the transition to being self-sufficient and valuable contributors to our society. Through our comprehensive programs and support services, we empower women to break the cycle of poverty, homelessness, and substance use, to achieve long-term success for themselves and their families.
