Eligibility

Bridge of Hope helps families, primarily those led by single mothers, who are struggling with their finances and are facing homelessness.

Bridge of Hope does not offer emergency housing or emergency rental assistance.

Through an approximately 12–18-month program with Bridge of Hope, you will work with a case manager and be connected to a Neighborhood of Support to help your family secure safe and sustainable housing that meets your needs. To help you on your way, Bridge of Hope will also provide temporary rental assistance.

Bridge of Hope is right for you if…

  • You are currently facing homelessness
  • You are open and willing to build relationships with a group of Neighboring Volunteers
  • You are caring for at least one child under age 18
  • You are currently free from substance use or dependence
  • You are open to working toward financial stability through employment
