What is the T.E.A. Program?
The Transition Evaluation Assessment Program is a comprehensive housing assistance initiative by LifeCycle Transitions that addresses both immediate crisis needs and long-term housing stability. Here’s how this life-changing program works to help people rebuild after losing their homes.
Origins and Mission
The T.E.A. Program was created from real-world experiences helping thousands of families navigate housing crises over more than 15 years. The program emerged from understanding that traditional housing assistance often fails to address the complex emotional, financial, and logistical challenges that come with sudden home loss.
The mission focuses on providing clarity and confidence to people facing housing transitions. Rather than offering one-size-fits-all solutions, the program provides personalized guidance that prevents costly mistakes and rushed decisions during vulnerable times.
Who It Helps
The T.E.A. Program serves individuals and families in various crises where traditional resources fall short. The program is specifically designed to help people who need more than basic emergency shelter or standard housing assistance.
Situations the program addresses:
- Foreclosure proceedings and mortgage default
- Natural disaster damage or displacement
- Inheritance complications and family property disputes
- Sudden job loss affecting housing stability
- Medical emergencies creating financial hardship
- Death of a spouse or family member affecting housing
- Hoarding situations requiring specialized intervention
- Property condemnation or code violations
The program recognizes that each situation involves unique challenges requiring personalized solutions rather than generic assistance.
Eye-Opening Industry Reality:
Recent federal data shows that 43,903 families needed foreclosure prevention help in just the final quarter of 2023 alone. Since 2008, almost 6.9 million homeowners have required foreclosure assistance, proving that housing crises affect far more people than most realize.
How the T.E.A. Program Works?
The program offers three main solution pathways designed to address different situations and needs. Each pathway provides specialized services tailored to specific circumstances and goals.
- Home Rescue Program
The Home Rescue Program addresses urgent situations involving distressed properties, foreclosure proceedings, or condemned homes. This intensive intervention provides a rapid response for time-sensitive situations requiring immediate action to prevent complete loss.
- Market Ready Program
For individuals ready to sell their property and transition to new housing, this program provides comprehensive support for preparing, marketing, and selling homes while coordinating relocation assistance and emotional support throughout the process.
- Standard Transition Agreement
This pathway serves people needing longer-term planning and gradual transitions. The program provides ongoing support, resource coordination, and step-by-step guidance for complex situations requiring extended timelines and multiple interventions.
Immediate Steps After Losing Your Home
Taking the right immediate actions protects your safety and preserves future options. Here’s what to prioritize in the first 24-48 hours after losing housing stability.
1. Ensure Safety and Basic Needs
Your physical safety and basic survival needs must come first before addressing long-term housing solutions. Securing immediate shelter, food, and medical care creates the foundation for making better decisions about your future.
Immediate safety priorities:
- Find safe temporary shelter (emergency shelters, family, friends)
- Secure access to essential medications and medical care
- Gather important documents (ID, insurance, financial records)
- Ensure you have basic clothing and personal hygiene items
- Establish a temporary mailing address for important communications
- Contact employers/schools to explain the temporary situation
Don’t attempt to handle everything alone during this crisis period. Emergencies require immediate action, but permanent decisions can wait until you have proper support and guidance.
2. Contact the T.E.A. Program
The T.E.A. Program provides confidential initial consultations within 24 hours of contact, even during weekends and holidays. The first conversation focuses on understanding your immediate needs and creating a safety plan for the next few days.
What to expect in your first call:
- Confidential discussion of your current situation
- Assessment of immediate safety and housing needs
- Review of available resources and support options
- Explanation of T.E.A. Program services and process
- Development of a short-term safety and action plan
- No pressure to commit to any specific decisions
The initial consultation helps determine which T.E.A. Program services best match your needs and circumstances. You receive a clear explanation of available options and next steps based on your specific situation.

3. Use Other Emergency Resources
While the T.E.A. Program provides comprehensive long-term solutions, and immediate crises may require additional emergency resources for basic survival needs.
Essential emergency contacts:
- 211 (general crisis and housing assistance information)
- Red Cross disaster relief (for natural disaster displacement)
- Local Salvation Army emergency shelter programs
- HUD homeless assistance hotlines
- FEMA disaster assistance (for weather-related displacement)
- Local food banks and emergency assistance programs
These resources provide temporary relief while you work with T.E.A. Program specialists to develop comprehensive solutions for permanent housing stability.
