About The Bridge

History

Founded in 2005, as a program of the Children's Home Society of Idaho, The Bridge works to ensure Idaho's children in foster care find families matched to their backgrounds and needs. In 2007, The Bridge purchased its first Bridge home and has purchased three more since. Children are placed in these homes where licensed foster parents care for them. In 2010, CHS partnered with PATH Idaho to provide treatment care services in Bridge homes.
