We took a walk around the neighborhood today and left a few reminders.

That there's a way forward. That home is out there. And that we're here to support every child, young adult, individual, and family along the way. đź’›

Celebrate DAF Day this Thursday, October 8 by making a gift to Bridges Homeward through your donor-advised fund! đź’™

A donor-advised fund (DAF) is a charitable giving account you can use to make gifts to the causes you care about. Your generosity helps build stronger futures for youth in foster care, youth transitioning out of foster care, individuals with developmental disabilities, and families across Massachusetts.

You can also name Bridges Homeward as a beneficiary of your DAF to create a lasting legacy.

We've been here for over 150 years. You've heard us say it a hundred times. But saying it and SEEING it are two different things. So we created something just for you.

Now you can SEE our history in 1 click. Photographs, letters, old impact reports and brochures, and a comprehensive interactive timeline!

Love starts with showing up. Bridges Homeward shows up for our neighbors by connecting them to safe housing, steady support, and a path back to belonging. When we show up together, we turn presence into home.

We are so happy to see Valerie fight for Joshua. For the full story, click here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wuSvAjash5Q&t=14s

Every year, young adults aging out of foster care are left asking a question no one should have to face alone: where do I go now? Without the proper support, up to 46% of them experience homelessness by age 26.

Through YASL, we connect young adults transitioning out of foster care with safe, stable housing and the support they need to build a stronger future.

Right now, we're facing an urgent need for housing. We're looking for apartments, homes, and units of all kinds: landlords with a vacancy, property managers or real estate professionals who hear about openings first, developers looking to make a lasting community impact, or simply someone with a network who can pass this along.

Please help us spread the word. Know of an available unit, or someone we should talk to? Contact us at 617-876-4210 or [email protected]

This DSP Recognition Week, we're shining a spotlight on the Direct Support Professionals who show up every day to make a difference. Their commitment, compassion, and expertise help individuals with developmental disabilities build skills, achieve their goals, and gain greater independence. Thank you, DSPs, for all that you do!
