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 use case management to connect young adults to more stable housing and prevent housing loss. We also 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.
