Lowell Transitional Living Center

Lowell Transitional Living Center (LTLC), affiliated with South Middlesex Opportunity Council (SMOC), is an emergency shelter for unaccompanied adults over 18 experiencing homelessness. Located at 193 Middlesex St. in Lowell, the center provides shelter, initial assessment, meals, showers, and individualized case management.

Case managers help guests develop housing plans and connect with housing opportunities, employment placement, benefits, and community-based resources. Referrals may include medical care, behavioral health services, substance use treatment, and other supportive programs. LTLC’s triage process also includes shelter diversion, which explores alternatives such as family reunification, medical respite, treatment, or domestic violence programs when appropriate.

LTLC’s broader services include connections to housing-stability programs and intensive support for people experiencing homelessness.
