What is My Residential Journey?

My Residential Journey is an Independent Living Program that provides a structured, supportive, and safe shared housing environment. Our mission is to promote stability and community living for adults transitioning from homelessness, treatment, or incarceration under the motto: "Every Step Leads to Success".

We serve independent adults with guaranteed income (SSI, SSDI, or employment). This includes Veterans (we accept HUD-VASH vouchers), Seniors (55+), and individuals with physical or mental disabilities who do not require direct medical care.

Is this a halfway house or an assisted living facility?

No. We are a permitted Boarding Home Facility in the City of Arlington. Unlike assisted living, we do not provide personal care services such as direct assistance with bathing, dressing, or feeding. Residents must be capable of living independently within a shared community.

What is included in the monthly program fee?

Your fee is all-inclusive and covers: Fully furnished lodging in a safe, sanitary room; All utilities, including electricity, water, gas, and trash; High-speed Wi-Fi and access to a 24-hour telephone; Communal amenities, including kitchen access, laundry facilities, and sitting/recreation areas.

How do I qualify for residency?

Applicants must demonstrate functional independence, meaning they can eat, bathe, dress, and move independently. You must also have a verified source of guaranteed income and agree to follow all house rules and safety protocols.

Do you accept housing vouchers?

Yes. We are an Equal Housing Opportunity provider and accept Housing Choice Vouchers (Section 8) and HUD-VASH vouchers. We coordinate directly with the Arlington Housing Authority (AHA) for these placements.

How long does the move-in process take?

We pride ourselves on rapid placement. Once a referral is received, our screening and intake process is typically completed within 24 to 48 hours.

In Loving Memory

Mercedes Woodson

A Dedication

“

My Residential Journey exists because of my mother, Mercedes Woodson. She taught me what care looks like in real life. She opened her home. She listened without judgment. She gave people dignity when life felt heavy.

Her strength shaped my values. Her kindness guides every decision I make.

This work is my way of honoring her legacy. Every resident matters. Every story matters. Every safe place we create reflects the love she showed our family and our community.

I carry her lessons with me each day. Her spirit lives on through this mission.
