Bridges operates Arlington County’s largest emergency family shelter, which has approximately 45 beds across 10 separate apartment units. It is a temporary solution for those with little or no resources. The length of stay generally is between 30-90 days, and then Bridges works with the families to move them into permanent solutions. Bridges also provides rental assistance and housing placement support for families, as well as daily case management, through a program called Rapid Rehousing.

Mission Statement: Bridges to Independence leads individuals and families out of homelessness and into stable, independent futures.
