WillowBridge Transitional Housing

LARC (Linking to Attain Responsibility and Community) was established in 2015. This initiative mobilizes, equips and inspires the community to connect with unsupported youth. WillowBridge Transitional Housing is designed to help these youth transition from Gateway Woods to full independence.

"1 in 5 foster youth will become instantly homeless at age 18." SharedJustice.org

50% of youth in foster care will be unemployed at the age of 24. Less than 3% of foster youth graduate from a 4 year college. A female foster youth is more likely to be sexually assaulted than to enroll in college. WillowBridge will give LARC kids, once they leave Gateway a safe place where they can live and grow.
