Family Promise of the South Bay

Bridge to Thrive is an innovative, early-stage program by Family Promise of the South Bay that provides families experiencing homelessness with transitional housing, on-site health care access through Health Net, and financial empowerment training. By addressing the interconnected challenges of housing instability, limited health care access, and income inequality, this holistic initiative helps families build lasting stability and thrive in Los Angeles.

To fight the growing problem of family homelessness caused primarily by domestic violence, our team of trauma-informed care managers will provide two years of shelter and wraparound services to unhoused families in the South Bay.

Family Promise of the South Bay is a homeless shelter and wraparound service agency in the Torrance area of LA County. We work with families that are experiencing homelessness and housing insecurity. Using a trauma informed approach, we help families in a variety of ways by offering shelter and support along with the hopeful outcome of increasing income, boosting employment and finding sustainable solutions specific to their family's needs.

Through trauma-informed, high-caliber professional development and hands-on learning at Wrigley Coffee, individuals facing housing insecurity develop mindsets and skills for sustainable careers, economic mobility, and enrich their community by providing quality, specialty coffee and community space to the Wrigley neighborhood. Wrigley Coffee is a program of Family Promise of the South Bay, a nonprofit helping families achieve housing stability.

Individualized cargo containers, stacked on empty lots, will provide chronic and temporarily homeless people with a place to live, as well as space for the resources they need to survive and succeed.
