HELP. HOPE. CHANGE.
At Bridge to Home, we help individuals and families in the Santa Clarita Valley move from homelessness to housing.
For over 25 years, Bridge to Home has been providing help, hope, and change for people in Santa Clarita who are vulnerable to homelessness, we provide shelter, support services, and permanent affordable housing and advocate for sustainable solutions for our neighbors in need.
By addressing the conditions and causes of homelessness, we are able to provide the bridge to home for our neighbors who are vulnerable to homelessness.
Over the last year, with you by our side, we fed, sheltered, supported, and served more than 900 people and families experiencing homelessness. Our shelter has space for 60 individuals and is open 365/24/7. At our year-round Client Services Center, staff and volunteers help people access and retain housing. Through our Feeding It Forward program, we offer dinner to anyone who comes to our shelter hungry Tuesday-Thursday, every week.
Bridge to Home is governed by an all-volunteer Santa Clarita Valley Board of Directors.
We are a non-profit 501 (c )(3) corporation EIN 95-4587823. Donations may be tax deductible.

Building the Bridge
We’re building a brand new facility!
The new facility will provide interim housing for 60 individuals and, is the first family shelter in this region, there will be 8 separate apartment-style units that can accommodate up to 32 people. We anticipate serving over 1,000 unduplicated individuals every year at this new facility.
Every space in the new facility is thoughtfully designed to help the people we serve bridge their way out of homelessness and into permanent housing – from indoor plumbing and places to meet to engage in workshops, to a technology center with access to education and job training. With a large, functional kitchen our volunteers who prepare and serve meals will be able to do so with greater capacity.
For more information about the new facility go to www.btohome.org/capital.
