The Bridge for Youth centers youth voice, justice, and equity in all we do and empowers youth experiencing homelessness through safe shelter, basic needs, and healthy relationships. Our vision is a community where all youth feel safe, accepted, and supported.
The Bridge is a safe and welcoming place for ALL youth. Current programs at The Bridge include emergency shelter and transitional housing for youth – including parenting youth and their young children; individual, family, and group counseling; specialized case management for crime victims and youth who identify as BIPOC and/or LGBTQ+; phone and text crisis intervention; and street, site, and mobile outreach.
Emergency Shelter
When you can’t go home, when you feel shut out, when you just need a break, The Bridge for Youth is a safe and accepting place that’s open and available whenever you need us—24/7/365—at no charge.
Supportive Housing for Youth
The Bridge offers longer-term supportive housing options for unaccompanied homeless pregnant and parenting youth and their children (ages 0-3).
Outreach and Support
The Bridge offers a variety of outreach & support services: Street and site-based outreach, school partnerships, community education; aftercare, weekly support groups; specialized services for crime victims, LGBTQ+, sexually exploited youth; and, the Work Ambassador employment program.
The Mobile Youth Outreach Center
Bringing services directly to youth, The Mobile Youth Outreach Center provides mobile intervention to meet immediate basic needs – healthy food, gender affirming clothing, resources for harm reduction and safety planning, assessments and referrals, case management, and most importantly, connection through both 1:1 in-person and virtual support.
