Oklahoma Nonprofit Opens a 20-Apartment Village in Moore for Homeless High School Students, With School Transport and Graduation Planning
The nonprofit Bridges has opened a 20-apartment duplex village in Moore, Oklahoma, built specifically to house homeless high school students; a ribbon-cutting was held this week, with some students having already moved in earlier.
Each apartment has bedrooms, a living room and a kitchen, and the programme provides transportation to school along with graduation planning support.
Stacy Bruce, executive director of Bridges of Oklahoma, described how the project gives students a stable place to live.
The village is modelled on Bridges of Norman, which helped Jefte Lozano, who lived in his car as a teenager, finish school; he now works for one of Oklahoma's top three architecture firms.
Moore Public Schools Superintendent Robert Romines attended the opening and spoke about the first resident.
