Bridge of Hope Harrisonburg-Rockingham

Bridge of Hope serves families facing homelessness in our local community. We serve the most vulnerable families, households headed by one parent. Bridge of Hope is a Housing First program, which helps find safe, fair-market housing and offers rental assistance on a decreasing basis over the time of the program, which can range from 12-24 months. Our trauma-informed program is a three-way partnership that includes the family which drives the program, the case manager who connects the family with resources to reach their holistic goals, and Neighboring Volunteers who serve as a social support system. This social support is what makes our program unique. As a Christian faith-based organization, we call the church to care for the families through friendship, advocacy, and financial support. The overarching goal is that families will break the cycle of homelessness and live into stable, resilient futures.
