Options by DMS becomes first sponsor for the BRIDGE Foundation, helping to provide material support and rehabilitation for public defender clients in Santa Cruz County
We are incredibly proud to announce the next step in our ongoing mission to help redefine the criminal justice system. Options by DMS has become the first community sponsor and Bridge Builder for the BRIDGE Foundation of Santa Cruz County.
The BRIDGE Foundation fills a critical gap in Santa Cruz County by providing direct, material support to public defender clients navigating rehabilitation, recovery, and re-entry. Whether it’s securing stable housing, accessing substance use treatment, or obtaining basic necessities for a fresh start, they meet people exactly where they are.
This collaboration is a natural alignment of values. Both of our organizations look to create a community where all children and adults impacted by criminal legal system involvement have the resources they need to address the root causes of system involvement, break harmful cycles, and thrive.
True justice isn't just about monitoring where someone is; it’s about supporting where they are going. Partnering with the Bridge Foundation allows us to pair our accountability technology with the real-world resources individuals need to successfully re-enter society.
Through this sponsorship, Options by DMS is directly supporting localized, compassionate solutions to lower recidivism and keep families together. By combining innovative electronic monitoring technology with hands-on material support, we are helping build a safer, more supportive Santa Cruz County.
We look forward to a long, impactful partnership with the BRIDGE Foundation and invite others to join us in supporting their incredible mission. Visit their website to learn more.
