Who We Serve
Our services are available to women and children who reside in Seneca County, Ohio, a neighboring county, or who plan to stay in the Seneca County area. The Transformation Life Center (TLC) provides short-term emergency shelter for women and children, typically lasting 30 to 90 days.
Eligibility Considerations
To maintain safety and appropriate levels of care, we are unable to provide shelter to individuals with the following circumstances:
- Current pets
- Sex offense convictions
- Prior residency at either shelter within the last six months
- Significant medical or mental health needs that require a higher level of care than we can safely provide
We also generally cannot accept applicants with violent convictions. However, limited exceptions may be considered when there are clear extenuating circumstances such as the incident occurring within the context of domestic violence, a demonstrated long period without further offenses, or evidence that the conviction does not reflect an ongoing pattern. These situations are reviewed case by case.
Shelter Stay Q&As
Q: Do you have any free rooms?
A: This answer can vary greatly. At all times we have a waitlist, current residents, referrals coming in, and many more. The best option is to fill out this application and get on our list.
Q: What can I bring with me?
A: At the TLC, we can only accommodate about a weeks worth of clothing per household member. Everything brought must be able to be laundered. If there is a specific item you’re worried about please do not hesitate to ask us!
