Our Mission Statement is "Build a Bridge of Hope for the San Francisco Bay Area's most vulnerable and fastest growing homeless population-women, children and families-enabling them to become self-sufficient, positive, contributing community members."
The Bay Area Rescue Mission is creating the
Bridge
of
Hope
as a Center for homeless women, women and their children, and families. The
Bridge
of
Hope
will provide 400 beds for this fastest growing, most vulnerable segment of the Bay Area’s homeless population. As a continuum of care, the
Bridge
of
Hope
will provide short term emergency shelter, comprehensive long term recovery programs, and transitional living facilities for those who have completed recovery programs.
Key elements of the
Bridge
of
Hope
will include:
 A comprehensive intake and evaluation process (not to restrict admission, rather to insure that all areas of need are addressed)
Substance abuse and addiction recovery programs
Job skills training with hands on experience
Education and GED certification
College classes
Behavior management skills
Family management skills
Basic medical services, with limited specialized areas of practice such as OB/GYN, Dental, Optical, Chiropractic
Spiritual Guidance
