A residential home intended to accommodate people during a transition or through a crisis during which residents are expected to develop or show greater independence than residents in most residential homes. Hostels for young people were developed from the idea of the common lodging house around the beginning of the twentieth century to accommodate young people on probation or those leaving residential care to return to the community. They were developed for people with mental health problems in the 1960s and for adults on probation in the 1970s.
