Bridge to Home board and staff, Santa Clarita City Council members, local dignitaries, and community members celebrated the groundbreaking of Bridge to Home’s permanent homeless shelter.

The new facility will have space to house 60 individuals and it will also offer the first family shelter in the Santa Clarita Valley, with accommodations available for eight families.

A large, functional kitchen will offer dedicated volunteers adequate space and amenities to prepare and serve meals with greater efficiency.

Every space in the new facility will be designed with the clients in mind, including places for clients to meet and engage in case management and workshops, as well as a technology center with access to education, job training and housing resources.

The new facility is scheduled to open in 2023.
