The Bridge Foundation: Restoring Dignity, Rebuilding Lives

Homelessness is one of the most heartbreaking challenges in our communities. Too many people are left without a safe place to sleep, reliable meals, or the opportunity to work toward something better. At The Bridge Foundation, we believe the answer isn’t just a bed for the night—it’s a bridge back to dignity, stability, and self-sufficiency.

The Bridge Foundation is more than a shelter. It’s a complete pathway designed to help the homeless not only survive but thrive.

More Than Shelter—A Pathway Forward

Yes, you can eat here. Yes, you can sleep here. But at The Bridge Foundation, every person who stays with us also takes the first step back into the workforce. Each day, we provide paid work opportunities through our network of CPC businesses.

From construction cleanup to landscaping, from painting to day labor on HVAC or roofing crews, our residents are given the chance to work hard, earn money, and reclaim the pride that comes with self-reliance.

It’s not just about keeping a roof over their heads for a night. It’s about giving them the tools, the resources, and the structure to build a better tomorrow.

Powered by CPC Businesses

The Bridge Foundation is uniquely supported by the family of CostPlus Contracting (CPC) businesses. These companies—spanning multiple blue-collar trades—create a steady demand for reliable day labor.

This partnership does more than provide short-term work. It creates a clear path:

  • Step One: Earn daily pay while meeting basic needs through shelter and meals.

  • Step Two: Learn the discipline of consistent work and responsibility.

  • Step Three: Show promise and grow into a long-term role by learning a trade.

  • Step Four: Transition from homelessness into a stable, skilled career with real upward mobility.

Because CPC businesses operate across so many trades, opportunities are endless. A person may start cleaning job sites but end up a trained roofer, electrician, or HVAC tech—equipped with skills that provide lifelong security.

Holistic Support Beyond Work

We know that solving homelessness isn’t just about a job. It’s about addressing the whole person. That’s why The Bridge Foundation brings together a network of professionals to walk alongside each resident:

  • Doctors to care for physical health.

  • Mental health professionals to support emotional and psychological well-being.

  • Financial coaches to teach how to open a bank account, start saving, and manage money responsibly.

  • Life mentors to guide residents through the everyday skills that build independence—communication, accountability, time management, and more.

Every resource is designed to help each individual not just survive today, but thrive for years to come.

A Safety Net That Doesn’t Rely on Donations

Most nonprofits depend entirely on donations to survive. The Bridge Foundation is different. Because it is supported by the work and revenue of all CPC businesses, our doors stay open and our programs stay strong regardless of outside funding.

Yes, we accept donations, and yes, every gift makes a real difference in expanding our reach. But the beautiful truth is: we don’t need donations to exist.

That means every dollar donated goes directly to expanding impact, not just keeping the lights on. Every contribution fuels more meals, more beds, more work opportunities, and more second chances.

A Model That Restores Dignity

Homelessness robs people of more than shelter—it robs them of dignity, structure, and hope. The Bridge Foundation is about giving those things back.

We don’t believe in handouts. We believe in hand-ups. Our residents work, earn, learn, and rebuild themselves in an environment that supports growth instead of dependency. They are not defined by where they’ve been, but by where they are going.

When someone walks out of The Bridge Foundation, they don’t leave with a sense of charity—they leave with skills, confidence, and a job that proves they matter.

A Vision for the Future

Our dream is bigger than one building or one city. The Bridge Foundation is a model we believe can transform communities everywhere. By combining the power of for-profit businesses with the compassion of nonprofit support, we are creating a system that doesn’t just reduce homelessness—it ends it one life at a time.

Each CPC business we launch creates more opportunities for day labor, more chances to learn trades, and more pathways out of poverty. Every partnership, every new service, every donation multiplies our ability to restore lives.

This is not just a shelter. It’s a movement of hope, work, and transformation.

Join Us on the Bridge

The Bridge Foundation is where compassion meets accountability, and where people rediscover the strength they thought they had lost. We are building bridges every day—bridges back to health, to work, to savings, to purpose, and to community.

You can be part of this. Whether as a donor, a volunteer, or a partner, your involvement helps expand a model that is already changing lives. Together, we can create a world where homelessness is not a dead end but a detour on the road back to thriving.

The Bridge Foundation. More than shelter. A bridge to a brighter future.
