Example: Recovery & Reentry Bridge Housing
Transitional housing for people leaving treatment or incarceration while they find work.
The story
The founders met in a recovery group and kept hearing the same story: treatment worked, but there was no safe place to go afterward. They signed their first lease with a handshake and a borrowed couch.
Today the apartments are run with a part-time case worker and a rotating group of neighbors who bring meals and rides to interviews.

About this project
A fictional nonprofit that rents a small group of apartments and offers them for 90 days to people leaving addiction treatment or prison who have nowhere stable to go. Placeholder text for layout and illustration only.
Impact / Why it matters
A safe address for the first few weeks makes it far more likely that someone can keep a job and stay in recovery.
The weeks after leaving treatment or prison are among the riskiest. Without a stable place to sleep, it is hard to attend appointments, hold a job interview or avoid old circumstances that led to trouble.
Bridge housing gives people a quiet address, a case worker and a little time. Residents pay a small share of rent as they start working, which builds a landlord reference for their next home.
The model is modest and local. It will not fix the housing shortage, but each week of housing is a concrete step toward a person standing on their own.
