We are grateful to The Summit Foundation for their recent grant that enables Bridges to focus more intentionally in Summit on homelessness prevention and housing stabilization for individuals and families at risk of losing their housing.

The expanded program will embed a housing-focused case manager into community locations where residents already seek assistance, including food distribution sites like GRACE and the Summit Public Library. By meeting people earlier, Bridges can identify housing risks, connect residents to resources such as rental or utility assistance, and help resolve issues before they escalate into eviction or homelessness.

Nurturing bright futures with grant-funded equipment for The Learning Circle YMCA so their young learners can explore, build confidence, and grow together. We thank TLC for providing high-quality and affordable early childhood education and year-round care to families in our community. See the joy!
