Bridge to Housing Program

Bridge to Housing is a collective of Lake County Housing Navigators founded in October of 2021 and an affiliate of the Lake County Coalition for the Homeless. Our mission is to foster relationships with Lake County landlords to create mutually beneficial partnerships that work toward ending homelessness. We hold bi-annual events to meet Lake County landlords, property managers, and real estate professionals, explain our programs, and answer questions. You can also advertise your units to our clients’ housing navigators at these events. Our partnerships are very important to us, which is why we are continually looking for ways to protect landlords that work with us. Please read below about the benefits of working with us.

Please email lcbridgetohousing@gmail.com if you have any questions.

The Point-In-Time Count

The Point-In-Time (PIT) Count is a count of sheltered and unsheltered people experiencing homelessness on a single night in January, that takes place in counties all across the United States. The data gathered captures a picture of what homelessness looks like on any given day, and also helps coordinate services for people of our county experiencing homelessness.

Keep an eye out to help volunteer for next years.

Calling all Landlords

In the effort to connect people experiencing homelessness to housing, we need landlord partners to work with us. In many cases, there are resources to assist in rent payment. If you are interested, please register your housing resources using this simple form.

Please contact the Lake County Coalition for the Homeless with any questions. 

Ending Veteran Homelessness

Lake County is now among an elite group of communities throughout the nation that has officially ended veteran homelessness, based on certifications from the federal government and Built for Zero, a national nonprofit organization. In order to achieve this milestone, government and nonprofit partners worked together to develop real-time data tools to assure that veterans experiencing homelessness are quickly identified and connected to housing and services.  Learn more on the Ending Homelessness Page.
