In addition to showing a strong desire to gain independence, Bridges families pay rent based on their income. Adults complete career development training as well as instruction in time management, stress management, parenting and other skills needed to live successfully on their own. Individuals who have a history of substance abuse continue to receive counseling and undergo periodic testing to ensure they remain substance-free.

Established
in 1997, the Bridges program helps families move from homelessness to living
on their own by providing supportive rental housing for up to 24 months and
teaching them the skills they need for a stable, independent lifestyle.
