Footbridge for Families

Non-profit OrganizationsPennsylvania, United States2-10 Employees

Footbridge fills the gap when no other program can support a family’s need, paying third-party vendors to prevent modest crises from escalating.  Both survey and administrative data about our clients six-months post-intervention indicate that despite being in a highly vulnerable situation, our aid prevented them from having to use our nation's most expensive and traumatic safety net programs.   Our model saves taxpayer dollars and increases the lifetime earning capacity of generations within households. Given this unique role we play and the results we’ve shown, government agencies and health insurance plans contract with Footbridge to support their clients. We educate their front-line professionals on our process, whether they be doctors or child welfare workers, and ensure they understand Footbridge’s role within the larger system—filling in gaps of support so that families can get back to their forward momentum in life.
