The main goal of the Juno House is to provide safe temporary housing that affords the resident the time and opportunity necessary to obtain affordable permanent housing. The Juno House case manager will assist each resident in creating an individualized plan to successfully move on from transitional housing.

 The Juno House offers a structured group living environment, with men and women housed in separate buildings. There is no provision for families or couples. There is zero tolerance for alcohol and substance use. All residents of the Juno House are required to secure employment unless they are recipients of disability or retirement benefits.
