Street Outreach
Prevention and Intervention
Bridge’s Prevention and Intervention services are geared towards reaching the largest number of Boston’s homeless, at-risk, and runaway youth as possible. We are committed to getting the word out about Bridge, providing safe access points for youth to connect with us, and preventing runaways and homelessness wherever possible. This is the first line of contact between youth and Bridge, so it is important for us to provide a welcoming, warm, and safe environment from the start.
Behavioral Health
Skills for Self-Sufficiency
The next part of the Bridge journey is helping youth to develop skills for self-sufficiency. This includes helping each individual learn to manage their physical and mental wellbeing, to handle their finances, and to maintain consistency at school or at a job. These skills are foundational for their future success as independent, functioning adults. Many of these youth, who have been abandoned and neglected by the adults in their lives, are receiving this guidance for the first time.
Rapid Re-housing
Housing & Support
Housing itself is a crucial part of success for young adults facing homelessness. Bridge provides both supportive housing and independent housing options, depending on each individual youth’s level of independence and needs. Bridge also helps youth adjust to new homes, setting them up with community support and providing them with ongoing assistance as they make the transition to stable housing.
