Glad you asked...
A transitional home can be for different needs such as an adult shelter, for veterans, homeless or health challenges. Or, it can be for youth. Different rules and laws can apply according to State and County regulations. Most are non-profit organizations.
Then again, this answer might help you...
To start a transitional house you must be sure of what your trying to transition. Is it people with a drug or sex addiction. Is it run away kids? Once you decide then you can get help from the government and the chamber of commerce from your city. You can get charitable donations and have fund raisers for your transitional house.
