Healthy H.E.A.R.T.S. provides housing stability, supportive services, and practical resources through our A.C.T. (Addressing Critical Transitions) Programs. Because every transition is different, A.C.T. offers two distinct levels of support:

A.C.T. Transitional Housing Program
Our Transitional Housing Program serves young adult women ages 18–21 who are transitioning from foster care and need a safe, stable place to live while preparing for independent adulthood. Eligible residents may receive housing for up to 360 days, along with food and essential needs assistance, case management, mentoring, transportation assistance, wellness referrals, life-skills development, financial education, educational and career support, workforce preparation, and independent-living guidance.

A.C.T. Crisis Stabilization Program
Our Crisis Stabilization Program provides short-term assistance to women veterans transitioning to civilian life and single-parent families experiencing an unexpected crisis or period of instability. Support is individualized and may include temporary housing or emergency assistance, essential resources, case management, resource navigation, mentoring, workforce support, referrals, and connections to community partners.

Both programs reflect our commitment to helping individuals move from immediate instability toward greater safety, stability, and self-sufficiency-One Heart at a Time.

Healthy H.E.A.R.T.S. is a nonprofit organization committed to reducing financial barriers for individuals and families experiencing vulnerable transitions. Many A.C.T. services and resources are provided through charitable donations, grants, community partnerships, and in-kind support.

There is no fee to apply for assistance. Any program-specific financial expectations, third-party costs, or available assistance will be clearly explained before enrollment or services begin. No applicant will be asked to make a payment simply to be considered for support.

Eligibility depends on the A.C.T. program for which support is requested.

A.C.T. Transitional Housing Program
The Transitional Housing Program is designed for single young adult women ages 18–21 who are transitioning from foster care and are experiencing or at risk of homelessness, housing instability, or insufficient adult support. Applicants must complete our intake and assessment process, meet program eligibility requirements, demonstrate that the program is an appropriate fit for their needs, and be willing to actively participate in their individualized plan toward independence. Admission is also subject to available space.

A.C.T. Crisis Stabilization Program
Serves women veterans transitioning to civilian life and single-parent families experiencing an unexpected crisis or temporary instability. Assistance is based on individual circumstances, identified needs, program eligibility, available resources, and Healthy H.E.A.R.T.S.' ability to safely and appropriately provide or coordinate support.

Submitting a request for support does not guarantee acceptance, housing placement, or financial assistance. Each request is reviewed individually so that we can determine how Healthy H.E.A.R.T.S. or one of our community partners may best assist.

Getting started begins with completing the Get Support form on our website.

If you are seeking A.C.T. Transitional Housing, our team will review your request and may contact you for an initial conversation and pre-screening. Eligible applicants may then proceed through additional steps, including documentation verification, completion of our Resident Relationship and Personality Questionnaire, and an in-person readiness and expectations meeting. Following the assessment process, applicants will be notified of their admission status or next steps.

If you are seeking A.C.T. Crisis Stabilization, our team will review the circumstances of your request, identify your most immediate needs, and determine what assistance may be available through Healthy H.E.A.R.T.S. or our community partners.

Completing the Get Support form is the first step and does not guarantee program enrollment, housing placement, or financial assistance.

Yes. Family members, friends, foster care professionals, caseworkers, schools, churches, community organizations, veteran service providers, and other professionals may refer someone to Healthy H.E.A.R.T.S.

A referral lets us know that someone may need support; however, it does not automatically enroll that person in an A.C.T. program. Whenever possible, the individual seeking services should participate directly in the intake and assessment process.

Our team will determine whether the individual appears eligible for the A.C.T. Transitional Housing Program or A.C.T. Crisis Stabilization Program and whether Healthy H.E.A.R.T.S. has the appropriate resources or capacity to assist. When we cannot provide the requested support directly, we may help connect the individual with an appropriate community resource or partner.
