Launched in 2013, Bridges Alliance is an income-based rental housing program with a unique system of mutual support. Bridges Alliance is a public-private initiative, aimed at offering lower-wage working families a new and sustainable housing choice.
The Housing Connections Program works with landlords and low- to moderate-income Howard County residents to support both parties during the search and first lease term.
Our Housing Stability Programs are a multi-track component of Bridges to Housing Stability that utilizes case management as the primary tool for assisting homeless and at-risk households to obtain and maintain housing.
The Housing Connections Program is an expansion of the Landlord Engagement Program that was started in 2016. The goal of Housing Connections is to connect low- to moderate-income families with landlords who are willing to provide affordable rental housing. This results in stable housing for families, timely rent payments, a liaison for both parties, and support through routine home visits to check in on both the tenant and the unit. This housing program is one of the ways Bridges provides a path to self-sufficiency to prevent and end homelessness in Howard County.
