Transitional Housing Managers Melbourne For those in crisis, this can be the most secure type of accommodation that you can get, and a great opportunity to kick a few goals. The rent is normally 25 percent of your income you will have to sign a lease. You will be responsible for all the utilities (gas / electricity, etc). The majority of furnishings are provided: fridge, washing machine, and so on. When signing up with the transitional housing manager you will have to have gas and electricity put on. One thing that happens is that you may have to wait up to three days for the connections — especially if you move out just before the weekend. So if you don't like cold showers and eating takeaway for a couple of days, plan your move. Transitional housing can be a stepping stone to public housing. You may, in some cases, be fast-tracked as you are still classified as homeless. There are waiting lists for this type of housing and you may have to jump through a few hoops before you get there. To speed things up it is worth having a social worker advocating on your behalf.
