HARPS
The HARPS (Housing and Recovery through Peer Services) program was launched in 2015 and continues to provide Rapid Housing and services to families and individuals with behavioral and substance abuse disorders. The County will also be investing in the implementation of a SOARS (SSI/SSDI Outreach, Access, and Recovery) system to ensure that disabled persons, including those are being discharged from institutions, relate to social security benefits as quickly as possible so that they can have better access to housing opportunities.

What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
Bridgeways’ mission is to provide services that promote quality of life for individuals living with a mental health concern in a manner that facilitates growth, independence, and a sense of community. Our core programs connect low-income adults living with a mental health concern to life-changing opportunities through employment, housing supports, and increased engagement with mental health and other supportive services.
Based in Everett, and serving Snohomish County, Bridgeways incorporated in 1981. Our array of programs and services has evolved to meet changing community needs, the ever-shifting healthcare landscape, and taking into account services offered by other providers in Snohomish County.
