What Is Transitional Living?
Family of Woodstock’s MidWay transitional housing program is designed for homeless and at-risk young adults (16-20) who need a safe place to live and have no workable options. Residents have a private room with shared bathroom facilities, full kitchen and living space. Our Case Managers work closely with youth to develop life skills, address mental health issues, establish a schedule including attending school/work, assist with job applications, help with financial budgeting and search for appropriate long-term housing. Residents can live in the program for up to 18 months. Family operates two MidWay programs in Kingston and Ellenville. Depending on availability, applicants can choose the location most convenient for them. Both MidWay residences are staffed 24 hours a day, 365 days per year.
“We work hard to create an open, welcoming, warm atmosphere for our residents who really need a home more than just a place to live. It’s our intention that every resident feels comfortable during their time with us and that they can count on us to help them with “any problem under the sun” in keeping with Family’s values.”
– Jen Pineda, Team Leader, MidWay I & II
How MidWay Helps Youth Thrive
Family of Woodstock built our programs with the idea that we don’t tell people what to do and we don’t judge them for what they’ve done. We do, however, guide our clients towards decisions they can make to improve their lives. As the name implies, our MidWay Transitional Living program works with youth at a time when they are growing towards adulthood and need help building skills for the future. Some of the ways we help are:
- Assist with GED, high school diploma, or further college education
- Find vocational training programs
- Increase job readiness skills
- Help with job searches and applications
- Teach monthly budgeting, how to use a bank account, and establish a savings plan for the future
- Arrange medical care
- Provide support to get clean and sober
- Attend to mental health treatment, as needed

Since 1991, Family has operated the MidWay residences to help area youth grow into adulthood while providing services and support that establish a strong foundation as they become independently responsible for their lives. We are proud that this program has seen so many clients gain entrance to college, secure and retain employment, and live on their own, creating a rewarding life.
