English term or phrase: Casa de paso intermedio
I am translating the text for a Web site from Spanish to English. Therer are some terms I am not sure about from the following passage:
"CONOCÉ NUESTRAS POSADAS
La modalidad de recibir y acompañar al que se acerca a cada una de estas Posadas del Camino se basa en establecer un vínculo de confianza mutua y a partir de ese vínculo construir un nuevo proyecto de vida, desaprendiendo vicios adquiridos para sobrevivir en la calle e incorporando hábitos que permitan llevar una vida digna y autónoma.
1- Hogares de Tránsito
Son casas donde las personas de la calle encuentran, además de alojamiento, higiene y alimento, el afecto y el trato personal y profesional que les permite irse reencontrando con los elementos mínimos para poder reinsertarse en la sociedad.

2- Casas de paso intermedio
La finalidad de este tipo de espacio es seguir acompañando en la etapa final del proceso de reinserción social a algunas de las personas que han participado de cualquiera de las otras posadas del Camino (hogar, talleres, duchas)..."

How can I translate "Casas de paso intermedio"...?

Thanks!!!

For other uses, see Halfway house (disambiguation).
The purpose of a halfway house, also called a recovery house or sober house, is generally to allow people to begin the process of reintegration with society, while still providing monitoring and support; this is generally believed to reduce the risk of recidivism or relapse when compared to a release directly into society. Some halfway houses are meant solely for reintegration of persons who have been recently released from prison or jail, others are meant for people with chronic mental health disorders, and most others are for people with substance abuse issues. These sober halfway houses are many times voluntary places of residence and many of the residents may have no criminal record whatsoever. There is often opposition from neighborhoods where halfway houses attempt to locate.

casa de paso intermedio
homeless shelter


Explanation:
Homelessness (UK: rough sleeping) is the condition of and social category of people who don't have a regular house or dwelling because they cannot afford, pay for, or are otherwise unable to maintain regular, safe, and adequate housing, or they lack "fixed, regular, and adequate nighttime residence" [1] The actual legal definition varies from country to country, or among different entities or institutions in the same country or region.[2]

The term homelessness may also include people whose primary nighttime residence is in a homeless shelter, in an institution that provides a temporary residence for individuals intended to be institutionalized, or in a public or private place not designed for use as a regular sleeping accommodation for human beings.[3][4]

An estimated 100 million people worldwide are homeless.[5]

disagree  Lizette Britz: a homeless shelter fits better as a translation for "posada" or "hogar de tránsito,"
