Transitions Of Pa

Transitions Of Pa, doing business as Transitions, is a tax-exempt nonprofit organization based in Lewisburg, Pennsylvania, that receives federal grant funding as a prime recipient to deliver emergency shelter, transitional housing, case management, and victim support services to homeless individuals and families across Union, Snyder, and Northumberland Counties. The organization operates almost entirely through direct HUD grants and sub-grants from the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency; it does not hold federal contracts or serve as a federal contract prime or subcontractor.

Transitions' federal footprint centers on two grantor agencies. The Department of Housing and Urban Development's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development funds the bulk of Transitions' core operations through the Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267), awarding the organization twenty-two project grants totaling approximately $1.4 million across fiscal years 2022–2026. Recent HUD CoC awards include a $268,391 project grant for January–December 2026, a $124,496 grant for the same period, a $241,408 grant for January–December 2025, and a $114,095 grant also running through December 2025. Through these HUD grants, Transitions operates five program components: permanent supportive housing and rapid rehousing for persons with disabilities, transitional housing, supportive services only, Homeless Management Information Systems, and homelessness prevention. The organization also serves as a sub-recipient on thirty sub-awards from the Department of Justice via the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency, receiving funding to deliver core victim services, civil legal representation, and therapy to survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, child abuse, elder abuse, and human trafficking across the three-county region. Recent sub-awards include victim services funding dated October 2025, December 2024, and November 2024 for multi-disciplinary response coordination in Union, Snyder, and Northumberland Counties. An additional eight awards flow through the Department of Justice's Office of Justice Programs Victims of Crime program, rounding out the three-agency customer base.

Activity is modest and recent, with nine awards in 2025 and three in 2026 year to date, following lower activity in 2023 and 2024. Three awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. The organization's service portfolio emphasizes wraparound support: emergency and transitional housing, 24/7 crisis hotlines, housing counseling, case management, job training, mental health and substance abuse treatment, legal advocacy, and direct victim services for populations experiencing homelessness or fleeing domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking, and human trafficking. Transitions delivers these services across the geographic footprint of central Pennsylvania with a service network that includes sub-award relationships with county-level victim advocacy organizations and collaboration with local law enforcement and prosecution offices.
