Navigation Resource: Bridge to Benefits

As we navigate this uncertain time alongside our students, many of us may feel unsure or overwhelmed about how learners can safely access government benefits. The website below provides a confidential tool that screens which benefits our learners or clients may be eligible for, while protecting their privacy.

Bridge to Benefits is a great resource for tutors who are helping students look for benefits and services in the community.

The key feature of the site is a tool that will help assess eligibility for public support programs (food, housing, etc). An individual answers a few questions about income and family structure and the screening tool will offer some possible benefits and services. Individuals will need to then follow-up with programs directly.

Also on the site is a great set of links to a variety of services including transportation, disability services and employment.
