Organizations Filed Purposes: THE MISSION OF BRIDGE OF HOPE NATIONAL IS TO ENGAGE CHRISTIAN FAITH COMMUNITIES IN ENDING FAMILY HOMELESSNESS THROUGH NEIGHBORING RELATIONSHIPS THAT DEMONSTRATE CHRIST'S LOVE.

BRIDGE OF HOPE NATIONAL OFFERS A VARIETY OF RESOURCES TO ENGAGE CHRISTIAN FAITH COMMUNITIES IN ENDING AND PREVENTING HOMELESSNESS FOR FAMILIES (PRIMARILY SINGLE WOMEN AND CHILDREN) THROUGH THE TRAINING OF NEIGHBORING VOLUNTEERS, PROFESSIONAL CASE MANAGEMENT AND RENTAL ASSISTANCE FUNDS. THIS PAST YEAR HAS BEEN A CHALLENGING YEAR WITH CORONAVIRUS AND THE PANDEMIC. WE ARE SO GRATEFUL THAT IN THESE DIFFICULT DAYS, WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO SERVE 22% MORE FAMILIES FACING HOMELESSNESS. WE SERVED FAMILIES AND NEIGHBORING VOLUNTEERS IN 20 LOCATIONS IN 12 STATES INCLUDING 247 WOMEN AND CHILDREN BEING SERVED THROUGH THE HELP OF 400+ NEIGHBORING VOLUNTEERS. IN 2019, WE DEVELOPED ONLINE TRAINING COURSES TO EQUIP NEIGHBORING VOLUNTEERS WHO WERE UNABLE TO ATTEND THE IN-PERSON TRAININGS. THOSE ONLINE COURSES HAVE BECOME A SAVING GRACE AS WE WERE ABLE TO ROLL OUT ONLINE TRAININGS DURING THE PANDEMIC AND STAY-AT-HOME ORDERS, SO THAT WE COULD CONTINUE TO TRAIN AND EQUIP NEIGHBORING VOLUNTEERS AND SERVE MORE FAMILIES FACING HOMELESSNESS. IN AUGUST 2019, BRIDGE OF HOPE NATIONAL ALSO BEGAN DIRECTLY OPERATING THE BRIDGE OF HOPE AFFILIATES IN THE TWO FOUNDING COUNTIES: LANCASTER, PA AND CHESTER COUNTY, PA. COMMUNITY BOARDS NOW OPERATE TO OVERSEE AND SUPPORT EACH COUNTY SEPARATELY INSTEAD OF THE TWO COUNTIES TOGETHER.
