PROGRAMS & SERVICES

Bridge Housing for Youth Experiencing Homelessness

Our Bridge Housing Program has three steps.

We assist with temporary housing that moves young adults from being unsheltered to having somewhere safe to stay.

We provide same-day cash for food, transportation and medical needs.

We collaborate with young, through case management, to connect to more stable housing, prevent housing loss, and refer them to employment, education, workforce training and community resources that will lead to their long-term stability.

40% of Youth Experiencing Homelessness are LGBTQ.

OUR VISION

We envision communities where youth homelessness is brief, rare, and non-recurring.

Our Ultimate Goal is to identify youth who are facing housing instability, provide a positive support system, and help them with next steps for greater social mobility and economic security.
