Federal legislation to support the development of transitional
housing programs for homeless people (TH) was first introduced in
1986, and ultimately incorporated into the first Stewart B.
McKinney Act in 1987 as part of the U.S. Department of Housing and
Urban Development's (HUD) Supportive Housing Program (SHP). HUD's
division of Community Planning and Development has had
responsibility for the SHP since 1989, when a new administration
brought all the McKinney Act housing programs together within the
new Office of Special Needs Assistance Programs, which manages and
directs the program. By 1996 there were about 4,400 transitional
housing programs offering about 160,000 beds (Burt et al. 1999). By
2007 there were almost 7,300 transitional housing programs offering
about 211,000 beds. About 53 percent of the TH beds reported in
2007 are designated for families (HUD 2008), creating a capacity to
serve about 40,000 families at a time.
