Mission

Bridge Meadows develops and sustains supportive intergenerational neighborhoods for families of children formerly in foster care, promoting permanency, community, and caring relationships while offering safety and meaningful purpose to the daily lives of low-to-moderate income elders. We provide safe, affordable housing and wraparound therapeutic services that help interrupt the cycles of poverty, instability, and isolation that weaken community connections. As a result of these collective efforts, youth who have experienced foster care are manifesting their potential, building resiliency, and healing from trauma; families are interrupting cycles of generational poverty; elders are volunteering their time and talents and reducing social isolation; and all three generations are thriving.

About

IN SEPTEMBER 2017, BRIDGE MEADOWS PROUDLY WELCOMED HOME 74 NEW RESIDENTS TO OUR SECOND INTERGENERATIONAL HOUSING COMMUNITY IN BEAVERTON, REPLICATING OUR ORIGINAL PROGRAM IN NORTH PORTLAND,AND MORE THAN DOUBLING THE NUMBER OF CHILDREN, PARENTS, AND ELDERS TO BE SERVED ACROSS TWO SITES. BRIDGE MEADOWS OFFERS A POWERFUL ALTERNATIVE TO THE ISOLATION, TRAUMA, AND ADVERSITY THAT TOO MANY FOSTER YOUTH, THEIR ADOPTIVE FAMILIES, AND LOW- INCOME ELDERS ENDURE. OUR "WHOLE COMMUNITY" APPROACH LEVERAGES THE POWER OF PLACE, PERMANENCE, AND SHARED SOCIAL PURPOSE TO IMPROVE RESIDENTS' HOUSING STABILITY, ACCESS TO HEALTH RESOURCES, EDUCATIONAL ATTAINMENT, AND COMMUNITY CONNECTION. IT BEGINS WITH THE GROUNDING ROOTS OF A PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT TO CALL HOME, AND THIS THRESHOLD TO PERMANENCE SETS THE STAGE FOR FORMER FOSTER YOUTH SUCCEED IN SCHOOL, FOR ADOPTIVE PARENTS TO BUILD PARENTING SKILLS AND STABLE FAMILIES, AND FOR ELDERS OF MODEST MEANS TO AGE IN PLACE AND STAY HEALTHY, THEIR LIVES FILLED WITH PURPOSE. TOGETHER, ALL THREE GENERATIONS BUILD RESILIENCE AND IMPROVED HEALTH AND WELLNESS.
