The Bridges Out of Poverty Program seeks solutions to address poverty in our community that inspire hope. The primary goal of the program is to engage individuals, social services, employers, and institutions to address poverty. Individuals living in poverty are given the opportunity to explore their circumstances and build plans of self-sufficiency, while the greater community develops empathy and creates economic development opportunities that strengthen the social fabric of Monroe County.
