	Program Description - The Home Connection The Home Connection program has been providing transitional housing for homeless families with children since 1989. The Home Connection’s goal is to move families with children from homelessness to permanent housing with an emphasis on economic self-sufficiency. The Home Connection pioneered transitional housing in the Des Moines area. It is the only transitional housing program with 15 single family homes and 3 duplexes located in various neighborhoods in Des Moines that serves homeless families with children. The goal is to provide as much normalcy as possible for the families we serve. Families are able to stay in The Home Connection program for up to two years. Families that enter this transitional housing program are homeless when they enter the program and are very low income, but leave the program with the necessary education and job skills to be financially independent.
