Wesley Family Services and Transitional Services, Inc. (TSI) have announced an official affiliation aimed at expanding access to transitional housing and behavioral health support for Western PA residents.

The agreement, approved unanimously by the boards of both organizations, is effective immediately.

It allows the two nonprofits to share resources, staff expertise, and improve coordination of services, while maintaining their existing governance and operations structures.

“We are thrilled to welcome TSI as an affiliate organization and begin collaborating with their devoted staff members,” said Doug Muetzel, CEO of Wesley Family Services. “Our organizations will be far more effective and efficient together, and we’ll be able to reach more individuals that need our support.”

TSI, founded in 1969, specializes in housing and support services for adults navigating mental health diagnoses or intellectual disabilities, often following incarceration or homelessness. 

Wesley Family Services, with nearly a century of service, operates more than 50 healthcare and therapeutic programs across Western Pennsylvania.

Its reach includes outpatient centers, autism services, educational support, and residential housing for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

TSI supports over 250 individuals each year with a staff of 50. Wesley Family Services serves more than 20,000 people annually and employs more than 900 staff members.

The two organizations say the affiliation strengthens their shared mission to serve vulnerable populations more effectively through innovation and collaboration.
