BRIDGING THE GAP
BETWEEN HOMELESSNESS
AND HOUSING
OUR MISSION
Our mission is to walk with those who have fallen on hard times to help them find hope and a home.
Founded in 1985, The Bridge Home is devoted to bridging the gap between homelessness and housing by providing shelter, support, and inspiring a pathway forward to individuals and families experiencing or on the verge of homelessness.
From our main campus in Ames, Iowa, our outreach spans the Two Rivers Region, serving Story, Marshall, Boone, Greene, and Hardin counties.

In just a few minutes, you will experience some of the difficult financial choices ALICE families face every month.
