Overview
Mission
Bridge to home scv's primary exempt function is to run and operate a fully-functional homeless shelter that provides food, clothing shelter and counseling to the "homeless" in order to help them become independent and functional citizens of the community.
What it reported doing in 2024
Bridge to home scv is transforming lives in the santa clarita valley by providing essential services such as food, clothing, shelter, and counseling to individuals experiencing homelessness. Operating a year-round shelter, the organization receives support through reimbursement-based grants from lahsa and other local and state agencies as well as individual community donors. Bridge to home is guided by a committed board of directors made up of local community and business leaders and powered by hundreds of dedicated volunteers. In july 2024, bridge to home proudly opened the doors to its brand-new, 18,000-square-foot full-service interim housing shelter marking a major milestone in our mission. This state-of-the-art facility expands our capacity to serve up to 101 individuals at a time, including 69 single adults and eight families. This past year alone, bridge to home served more than 71,000 meals, assisted over 1,000 households, and helped 83 households secure permanent housing. Bridge to home is creating pathways to brighter futures - offering not just shelter, but dignity, hope, and the support our neighbors need to rebuild their lives.
