A gentle landing after foster care.
Every year in Washington, approximately 35 percent of youth aging out of foster care end up on the street within a year. Independence Bridge is helping to change that. It’s an apartment community housing 24 adults aged 18-25 who are leaving out of foster care, and who could benefit from a safe and respectful community of peers as they establish a strong foundation for their independent adult lives.
The Independence Bridge complex provides daylight-filled common spaces for gathering and growth, including a library, a communal kitchen and living area, and a laundry room. Residents receive critical, individualized support services including:
- Mental health services
- Chemical dependency treatment
- Primary medical care
- Employment services
- Educational support
- Life skills mentoring
- Financial planning
- Legal advocacy
- Peer support
Eligible young adults are encouraged to contact Navos-HousingTeam@multicare.org for entry information.
