Bridge helps in arranging quality accommodation, irrespective of the place of study or work and ensures hassle-free stay by outlining the expectations people.</p><p><strong>Why is Bridge favorable?</strong></p><p>There is an increase in the number of women relocating to different locations as more women had begun to work and had left their homes to study in big cities as well as rural and industrial clusters. One of the main difficulties faced by such women today is the lack of safe and conveniently based accommodation, also the reluctant nature of landlords who refuse to lease out homes to women. We have set up this project focusing on the safety aspect of women’s hostel at the same time, a place that make you feel comfortable with a homely feeling. This model is also designed based on the existing and successful business plan across the globe and have developed our unique selling proposition with due priority to value addition and sustainability.</p><p><strong>How does Bridge work?</strong></p><p>Bridge provides residential facility to working individuals who come across the city for conducting their works. We have curated a list of housing options from various sources which has been categorized accordingly with the demands as per the requirements of individuals.</p><img src="https://medium.com/_/stat?event=post.clientViewed&referrerSource=full_rss&postId=4c2adb10ea79" width="1" height="1" alt=""><hr><p><a href="https://medium.com/bridge-housing/about-4c2adb10ea79">About</a> was originally published in <a href="https://medium.com/bridge-housing">Bridge - Housing</a> on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story.</p>]]></content:encoded>
