The two most important days in a person’s life is the day they were born and the day they find out why.
- Mark Twain

our mission

We believe we can lead youth out of homelessness and empower them to live a life that will change a life!

How do we do it?

We provide housing for children in DCS custody, and support for young adults aging out of foster care or facing homelessness from ages 18 to 20.

A kid at The Bridge House

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.

  • To lead homeless youth out of homelessness and give them the tools to build their dream into a reality.

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