At Bridge21, our mission is simple but life-changing: creating neuroinclusive housing where adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities can thrive, belong, and live independently. We are building a foundation for a more inclusive Utah.
Mark your calendars now for our Second Annual Songwriter Sessions and Art Auction! September 12th, 2026 at Prospector Theatre.
We’ve been busy finishing our Healthy Relationships series, hosting weekly family dinners and life skills, and celebrating together at Night to Shine and our Valentine’s Dance. We even hit the mountain for the NAC’s Friday Night Lights fundraiser!
From community events and educational series to planning for the year ahead and in-house life skills and activities, there’s been a lot happening. Read on to learn about upcoming events and how you can get involved and join the fun.
A family was created. Not just for the four new roommates but for their extended families, their diverse friend circles, and the B21 staff!
For Taylor, an adult with Downs Syndrome and a love for music, independence had always felt just out of reach. Traditional housing options were not designed with her needs in mind. Shared spaces felt overwhelming. Long waiting lists made hope feel distant. And every year, her parents wondered who would care for her when they no longer could.
Today, she stands in a safe, accessible home of her own—supported by the community around her. Taylor has stepped into a future brimming with possibility.
Hi Stephanie, thank you so much for opening up with us about some important, but sometimes personal topics. One that really matters to us is overcoming Imposter Syndrome because we’ve seen how so many people are held back in life because of this and so we’d really appreciate hearing about how you overcame Imposter Syndrome.
I am not sure you ‘overcome’ imposter syndrome. I think it is what makes you do the hard things in life. I often think of the sentiment “if your dreams don’t scare you, they aren’t big enough”. When Bridge21 started we did not have a blueprint of how to support adults with intellectual-developmental disabilities in supportive housing. We are designing a model that we believe works in Park City and can be replicable in other communities around the country. In our case, I did the research, made some good & ‘better’ decisions, kept pushing forward and relied heavily on people who knew parts of what I needed then I put the parts together to complete our vision. I guess, the essential quality I have learned is to not be afraid to try scary things.
THANK YOU!
First Things First… Thank You from the bottom of my heart to my ‘crew’: my day-one people, the behind-the-scenes heroes, the last-minute phone
answerers, the “we’ve got this” cheerleaders—you know who you are. You are my rocks. I couldn’t do this without your love, laughter, and relentless support. My undying love and respect to you all.
