Transitional Housing
About this resource
Faith-based transitional housing and program for young women who have aged out of foster care or are experiencing homelessness; provides structured life-skills training, mentorship, and housing.
J127 Ministry operates a Christ-centered, program-based transitional home in Durant, OK for young women (primary program age range 17–25). The program provides shared residential housing, mandatory life-skills classes, mentorship, counseling (required during early phases), assistance with education and employment goals, and a structured four-phase progression toward independent living. J127 is not an emergency shelter—placement is program-based and depends on readiness and availability.
