Bridge Meadows
We create & inspire intergenerational communities for the well-being of foster families & elders.
Bridge Meadows is a unique multi-generational community located in the Portsmouth neighborhood of North Portland where foster youth, adoptive parents and low-income elders - those over 55 - find a true home built with love and the shared vision of a better tomorrow. Children move from the instability of foster care placements to permanent homes and families where they find the stability, caring connections and educational support they need to succeed and recalibrate the trajectory of their lives. Parents receive essential resources and guidance, while elders find safe, affordable housing and an opportunity to make a significant difference in the lives of families and their children- all while building meaningful social connections that keep their brains and bodies active and healthy. By leveraging the power of place, permanence and purpose, Bridge Meadows helps three generations transform individual vulnerability into collective strength.

Happy 9th Birthday, Bridge Meadows Beaverton! π
On August 31, 2017, Bridge Meadows celebrated its grand opening in Beaverton, and expanded its mission to create affordable communities where generations could heal, grow, and care for one another.
Our Beaverton community has witnessed countless family milestones: new beginnings, graduations, first days of school, and the everyday moments that make a house a home. It's been a place of healing for families facing hardship, and a place of connection for elders to find renewed purpose in showing up for the children and families around them.
Thank you to the residents, volunteers, staff, partners, and supporters who have made this milestone possible! β€ππ
