Since 1976, Transitional Resources has provided a pathway to recovery for low-income people living with mental illness.
Making Recovery Possible
Transitional Resources is a licensed behavioral health center and assisted living facility located in the West Seattle neighborhood of Seattle, Washington. We have been in operation and have been serving King County since 1976.
We serve low-income adults in King County who are living with serious mental illness, including schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and major depressive disorder. We offer a full spectrum of optimistic and respectful behavioral health services and supportive housing to our clients.
Our clients prove again and again that people with serious mental illness can succeed in their communities with the right supports and resources. This is made possible by the staff, neighbors, friends, and community who surround us and support our mission.

Transforming Lives
Our outcomes show the real and lasting results of personalized, comprehensive care. By combining behavioral health treatment with stable housing and ongoing support, we help individuals move out of crisis and into stability, creating pathways to long-term recovery.

of the clients we serve are BIPOC, who are disproportionately more likely to find themselves living houseless.
Once in our programs, clients experience fewer psychiatric hospitalizations, improved health and wellbeing, and greater independence while remaining safely housed. Instead of fighting alone through a complex system that doesn’t meet their needs, they remain connected to a community of peers and trusted staff who are with them every step of the way. This approach not only transforms the lives of individuals and their families, but also strengthens our broader community by reducing crisis situations and strain on public systems.
What Makes TR Successful?
Treatment in the community is not only more humane, it is also significantly more cost effective than treating mental illness in jails, emergency rooms, or state hospitals.
We prioritize keeping the caseload size at TR significantly lower than the industry standard. This allows our case managers to serve people with the most serious forms of mental illness by providing treatment that is tailored directly to their specific needs. The face-to-face, personalized care our clients receive is critical to their success. Because of this, TR produces some of the best outcomes in King County.
