How Bridge Housing Works

Surprise Bridge Housing will offer case management services to connect residents to community services, to support employment, and to achieve their transition into stable, permanent housing. The Bridge Housing Model is intended to help residents who have been approved for a rental subsidy but may face barriers in obtaining a rental unit due to poor rental or criminal histories, or poor credit. The intent is to house an individual or a family in one of the eight units with a six-month lease agreement, and with the opportunity to renew that lease. A household can build positive rental history and improve their credit, which will increase their housing opportunities in the West Valley.

At this time, application to Surprise Bridge Housing is by referral only.

A "chronically homeless" individual is defined to mean a homeless individual with a disability who lives either in a place not meant for human habitation, a safe haven, or in an emergency shelter or in an institutional care facility if the individual has been living in the facility for fewer than ninety (90) days and had been living in a place not meant for human habitation, a safe haven or in an emergency shelter immediately before entering the institutional care facility. In order to meet the ‘‘chronically homeless’’ definition, the individual also must have been living as described above continuously for at least twelve (12) months or on at least four (4) separate occasions in the last three (3) years, where the combined occasions total a length of time of at least twelve (12) months. Each period separating the occasions must include at least seven (7) nights of living in a situation other than a place not meant for human habitation, in an emergency shelter or in a safe haven.

Federal nondiscrimination laws define a person with a disability to include any (1) individual with a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities; (2) individual with a record of such impairment; or (3) individual who is regarded as having such an impairment. In general, a physical or mental impairment includes, but is not limited to, examples of conditions such as orthopedic, visual, speech and hearing impairments, cerebral palsy, autism, epilepsy, muscular dystrophy, multiple sclerosis, cancer, heart disease, diabetes, Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), developmental disabilities, mental illness, drug addiction, and alcoholism.
