The Bridge, Inc.'s Independent Living Demonstration Project, a residential project assisting 16- and 17-year-old runaways and throwaways to live successfully on their own after receiving 6-8 months of project services, served 10 male and 12 female adolescents during its second year of operation. Youth were from high, middle, and lower income families; 50 percent were runaways and 41 percent were throwaways. Over one-third had been physically or sexually abused by their families and another one-third had been neglected. Status of 11 youth who had been out of the project an average of 5.7 months showed that project youth had statistically significantly better records in achieving employment and stable living situations compared to 18 control group youth receiving other types of services. Project youth also had school achievements showing a trend in the direction of significance. Pre-post means on measures of self-concept, locus of control, and a personality profile did not show significant change. A concurrent follow-up of the first year youth who had been out of the project an average of 15.9 months revealed that these youth continued to maintain a strong record of success: 81.8 percent were in stable living situations; 81.8 percent were employed; and 90.9 percent were in school or had graduated from high school. The results suggest that the Bridge, Inc. Residential Independent Living Demonstration Project has shown marked success in assisting runaways and homeless youth to achieve employment, stable living situations, and educational progress. (NB)
