In 2022, Habitat completed the Transformational Living Center (TLC) which is now HOME for Families, a purpose designed housing shelter on Parson's Road in Pembroke (the former Pembroke Rest Home) that addresses the growing problem of homelessness among families with children in Bermuda.

 

The design and operation of the project is based on the premise articulated by "HOUSING FIRST" which is that very little can be accomplished developmentally or therapeutically unless or until one's basic needs for food and shelter are met.

 

The TLC, was formerly under the management of the Women’s Resource Centre, and is now managed by HOME.  HOME for Families seeks to change that trajectory and, with the help of the generous Bermuda Community, we believe this can not only be accomplished, but will establish a model that can be replicated throughout Bermuda.
