About us
Welcome to Bridges - Restoring Lives and Rebuilding Communities
Established in 2020, Bridges is a compassionate organization, dedicated to providing support, guidance and opportunities for individuals transitioning from incarceration to reintegration. We firmly believe in the power of redemption, second changes, and the restoration of self-worth. Our founders, Vicky Williams, and Courvosia Pettis, bring together over two decades of combined experience offering essential services to individuals returning from incarceration.
At Bridges, we understand the challenges faced by individuals returning home. That’s why we have developed comprehensive, Transitional Housing Programs that create a safe and supportive environment for male and female justice-involved individuals on active Parole or Probation, seeking to rebuild their lives. We are committed to making a positive impact on their journey towards successful reintegration.
