Welcome to Bridgesource: Empowering Lives, Bridging Hope

About Us:

At Bridgesource, we believe that every individual deserves to live a life free from crisis, fear, and violence. Our 501c(3) nonprofit organization is dedicated to providing essential support and resources to those who earn above the poverty line but often find themselves excluded from government assistance and outreach programs. Wealth, success, or gainful employment does not bar one from experiencing extreme crisis, as life's challenges can affect anyone regardless of their financial status or achievements.

Our Mission:

Our mission is simple yet powerful—to bridge the gap between immediate safety and long-term stability. We understand that life's hardships can strike anyone, regardless of their income or background. Through strategic partnerships and compassionate assistance, we aim to empower working individuals and their families to overcome adversity and rebuild their lives with resilience and self-sufficiency.

Why We Exist:

We recognize that traditional emergency shelters and government programs may not adequately address the unique challenges faced by high-income earners in crisis. As a result, these individuals may be left without recourse or support during their most vulnerable moments. Bridgesource fills this critical void, providing a safe haven for those escaping violence, abuse, or dangerous circumstances while also ensuring they can maintain their jobs and livelihoods.

What We Do:

At Bridgesource, we go beyond offering immediate shelter. Our comprehensive services encompass legal support, financial assistance, counseling, and education. By addressing the root causes of crisis and working hand in hand with survivors, we pave the road to long-term recovery and a brighter future.

Working Family Support Grants:
Assisting those just above the poverty level, our grants address short-term emergency expenses, preventing financial catastrophes that could lead to homelessness.

Employment Bridge Grant:
Designed for those starting new jobs or returning to work, this grant provides support for the first 45-60 days, ensuring essentials are maintained during the critical transition period.

Emergency Grant:
Responding to urgent needs, our emergency fund provides immediate assistance for time-sensitive situations like temporary relocation, transportation costs, child care, and essential payments during unforeseen circumstances.

Note: Our grants are designed to meet immediate needs without perpetuating crisis. Eligible clients engage in programs for a holistic transition to a sound quality of life, and we do not advocate interest-bearing loans.

Immediate Assistance Services:
While we don't provide direct cash payments, we collaborate with partners to offer immediate services such as transportation support, rent payments, car repairs, hotel/motel vouchers, and utility/rental assistance.

Life Management Resources:
Our low-fee Resource Directory tackles day-to-day challenges with a sliding scale or in-kind services, including eviction clinic/relocation support, legal services, living essentials, handyman/repair services, car maintenance/transportation, and credit repair/building.

Project Toni's Closet:
Our crisis management support program intervenes where national and local agencies may fall short. Confidential services include temporary shelter/relocation support, emergency mother and baby care, family care/bereavement support, counseling/ministry, and temporary career placement.
