About Families in Transition
OUR MISSION: To provide safe affordable housing and comprehensive social services to
individuals and families who are homeless or at risk of becoming
homeless, enabling them to gain self-sufficiency and respect.
Families in Transition (FIT)is
a 501(c)(3) non-profit agency with locations in Manchester
and Concord, New Hampshire that provides safe affordable housing
to homeless individuals with or without children.
Families in Transition (FIT) began as a program of the New
Hampshire Community Loan Fund in 1991 with one facility and
the capacity to provide transitional housing and support services
to five women and their children.
FIT was incorporated into
a non-profit agency governed by a Board of Directors in 1995. The organization has since grown into an agency that in 2005
assisted 116 single mothers, 7 single fathers, 195 children
and 35 single women without children. FIT has five residential

FIT has experienced unprecedented growth over the past years;
however, programs have not been compromised. Its success rate
of participants who complete the program moving into permanent
housing continues to be almost 90%. FIT's mission to serve
homeless individuals has never wavered and the staff are proud
of the valiant women and men who partake in our programs and
commit to changing the course of their lives and achieving
