WELCOME HOME TO BRIDGE IT

Bridge It provides young people exiting out-of-home care with a home, a community, and the support to thrive.

Home is safe. Home is a happy place. Home is here. Come on in; our kettle’s always on. Together, we can put an end to youth homelessness.

Our Bridge

We provide homes and support for 17 – 21 year-olds. Our programs are for 12 months.

This means there’s time to stabilise, learn independent living skills and move positively into adulthood.
