  • Referral Eligibility Overview

    Review the criteria to determine if an individual may be a good fit for New Leaf Legacy Living's transitional housing program.
  • New Leaf Legacy Living provides structured, transitional shared housing for adults seeking stability during a period of transition. This overview helps referral partners determine whether an individual may be a good fit for our program before submitting a referral.

  • Who May Be Eligible

    Individuals must meet all the following criteria:
  • • Be 18 years of age or older
    • Be able to live independently in a shared housing environment
    • Have verifiable income, benefits, stipend, or placement plan
    • Be willing to follow house rules and accountability standards
    • Be seeking transitional housing, not permanent placement

  • We commonly serve:

  • • Veterans
    • Returning citizens
    • Young adults aging out of foster care
    • Interns and working professionals
    • Individuals with fixed incomes (SSI, SSA, VA benefits)
    • Individuals seeking a fresh start due to life transitions

  • Program Fit Considerations

    This program may be a good fit for individuals who:
  • • Can manage daily self-care independently
    • Are not in need of medical, mental health, or substance abuse treatment services
    • Are open to structured oversight and community living
    • Are motivated to work toward housing stability and independence

  • Important Program Clarifications

  • • New Leaf Legacy Living is a housing-focused, non-clinical program
    • This is a membership-based shared housing model, not a lease or tenancy
    • Placement is not guaranteed and is based on safety, compatibility, and availability
    • Background and credit reviews may be conducted but are not strict and reviewed case-by-case

  • Next Steps for Referrals

  • If an individual appears to meet the above criteria, referral partners may submit a Case Manager Referral Form or contact us to discuss eligibility before referring.

    Our goal is to ensure safe, stable housing placements that support long-term success for both residents and property partners.
