Spanish term

hogares de paso

Spanish to English Social Sciences International Org/Dev/Coop Global Fund Projects
I know what these are, but the term in English is not coming to me, and I've had a block on this one for a few days now!

These are places for patients to stay during either the treament program or the trip made to have treatment. These are either funded or organized by the proposal. This is about those disadvantaged patients who live in isolated areas of Colombia, and cannot afford to travel to more urban areas for treatment. Context in Spanish below. Colombian/Int. Spanish to Int. Eng (ie no country-specific terms please!)

Los pacientes recibirán estímulos para la adherencia del tratamiento como subsidios de transporte para el desplazamiento y hospedaje durante la fase de tratamiento en ***hogares de paso*** que se crearán con recursos de esta propuesta.
Thank you all in advance :)

Absolutely agree, Satto. I just couldn't think! And was sure there was a specific name for these places. Of course, something general like temporary accommodation will work perfectly well. And I'd like to say thanks to everyone for their input thus far. :)
Roberto Rey Jul 26, 2008:
"Temporary accommodations" is the best option since temporary housing means they give you "temporary" house, and these people do not have the economic funds to pay for food and lodging. Accommodations means they are given everything, they do not have pay.

temporary accommodation

I think 'accommodation' would be better than 'home' in this context.

Or 'temporary living quarters' (but that sounds somewhat military...

transient housing or hostels

Transient housing/Inexpensive extended stays

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm trying to find transient housing in Chicago? Does anyone know of inexpensive places around the city that'll allow people who live in Chicago to stay for a night or maybe longer? It doesn't matter in what part of the city it's located or even if it's in the suburbs. I'd appreciate any info. I can get. Thanks.
