BridgeWay Village Overview
Mission/Vision
Mission
Together providing shelter and healing for women in homelessness.
Vision
To see women living an abundant life in Christ.
“Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life, no one comes to the Father except through me.”
-John 14:6
PROGRAM (12-18 Months)
Residents will take classes in money management, emotional well-being, relationship building, etc.
Job training and employment skills will support residents in their job hunt for sustainable, long term careers and fulfilling employment.
Each resident will have a personal counselor, case manager, and advocate.
Residents will cultivate and manage the BridgeWay Garden, once developed.
And the King will answer them, ‘truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.’
-Matthew 25:40
NEED
A single woman without adequate housing is vulnerable to many dangers.
Individual women are among the fastest growing population of homeless. Lack of shelter and resources to meet their basic needs drive these women to take refuge in unsafe places.
Many women are displaced because of domestic violence, illness, addiction, mental illness, lack of education or training, loss of employment, and lack of affordable housing. It takes time to overcome the obstacles that led to their situation. In addition to these challenges, the lack of support, resources, and basic needs may result in their season of homelessness lasting longer than expected.
OUR RESPONSE
BridgeWay Village will be a tiny house community for single women where they will receive the needed support, encouragement, and individual care to not just survive, but to thrive. Through case management, discipleship, training, education, and personal responsibility, they can have a confident hope for their future.
