this is our "why"

23,000 kids age out of foster care each year without the support and stability of a family.

1 in 2 will experience homelessness, and 1 in 2 develop substance dependencies.

All will have an exponentially higher risk of becoming a victim of human trafficking.

Less than half will have graduated from high school and nearly 2 out of 3 of the girls will be pregnant by age 21.

Bridge House offers
