Beyond the Bridge

Join United Way Bay Area and the Bar Association of San Francisco for a special screening of Beyond the Bridge, a powerful documentary that explores innovative, community-driven approaches to addressing homelessness across the United States.

This thought-provoking film highlights effective strategies that are helping communities move beyond managing homelessness and toward creating lasting solutions. Through compelling stories and real-world examples, Beyond the Bridge challenges audiences to reimagine what is possible when communities work together to address one of our region’s most urgent issues.

Following the screening, attendees will participate in a dynamic panel discussion and community conversation focused on local efforts, emerging solutions, and opportunities for collective action. Hear from leaders, advocates, and changemakers as they share insights on what is working, the challenges that remain, and how we can build a future where everyone has access to safe and stable housing.

Whether you are a community members, nonprofit leaders, policymakers, mediators, attorneys, advocates, healthcare providers, and people interested in learning more, this event offers an opportunity to engage with diverse perspectives, exchange ideas, and connect with others committed to creating compassionate and effective solutions to homelessness.
