A JOINT RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCILS OF ENGLEWOOD, LITTLETON,

WHEREAS, the Cities of Englewood, Littleton, and Sheridan are committed to supporting
housing stability, employment access, and self-sufficiency for all residents within the south
metro area; and
WHEREAS, the Bridge House Ready to Work Program located at 4675 S. Windermere Street in
Englewood provides transitional employment, housing, and support services to individuals
experiencing homelessness, serving clients from across the region; and
WHEREAS, on a year-round basis, Bridge House in Englewood serves 49 individuals formerly
experiencing homelessness in its Ready to Work Program and another 20 people currently
experiencing homelessness in the Tri Cities Navigation Center operated by Bridge House; and
WHEREAS, access to reliable public transportation is essential for Ready to Work participants
to obtain and maintain employment, access healthcare, and attend appointments and community
services necessary for successful reentry and reintegration; and

to regional transit services; and
