Supported Housing

The Bridge offers a Residential Program, a private, long-term voluntary residential community for adults with brain injuries.  The primary purpose and activities are the fostering of a family-like setting for daily life wherein adults with brain injuries can live to the greatest degree possible as independent members of the general community. Because of the family-style arrangement, the needs for support that are unique to each resident can be addressed.

The residents remain closely connected to their biological families, but the bonds developed with staff, friends, and neighbors are also significant and enduring. The members live with support staff in one of three homes in a residential neighborhood close to downtown Charlottesville. They are part of the community and enjoy the intellectual and cultural life the city and the University of Virginia offers.
