Hillcrest Transitional Housing

About Hillcrest Transitional Housing

Hillcrest Transitional Housing is a regional operator based in Kansas City, Kansas, running transitional recovery housing across the Kansas City metro area.

Kansas City's Regional Housing Provider

Hillcrest describes itself as the region's leader in solving homelessness, and it runs furnished, rent-free transitional apartments for up to two years while residents rebuild income, savings and stability. Sobriety is required of everyone in the program alongside a structured set of goals it calls BEEP: budgeting, education, employment and personal development.

Serving Youth, Adults and Families

The organization primarily serves unaccompanied young adults ages sixteen to twenty-four, along with adults and families experiencing homelessness more broadly. Case managers work with every resident on life skills, employment and a plan for permanent housing after the program ends.

A Presence Across the Kansas City Metro

Hillcrest operates housing sites in Kansas City, Kansas, in Independence, Missouri, and in Overland Park, Kansas, which lets the organization move a resident between programs on either side of the state line without losing continuity of care.

Applying to Hillcrest

Hillcrest runs a single regional application process instead of separate intake for each site. Prospective residents should ask about current wait times, which site has availability, and how the BEEP framework is scored toward eventual approval for permanent housing.
