WillowBridge Transitional Housing serves aged-out youth in need of a safe place to land. They need more than just a place to live, however. These young adults need to learn the skills and resources to eventually move out of WillowBridge and live on their own – including how to get involved in a community and a church. WillowBridge staff and volunteers provide guidance, accountability, and support to tenants, based on their individual needs.
