Crossing The Jordan is a local nonprofit based in Santa Rosa, Sonoma County, California, focused on reaching people in the community who are suffering and inviting them into a life shaped by faith and love. The organization seeks to meet individuals in their places of hopelessness and remind them that they have a hope and a future. It was founded in 2011 by Michael and Dana Bryant, who articulated a vision for a long‑term residential program primarily for women and mothers. The program would equip participants with recovery education, life skills, leadership training, opportunities for executive‑level management, access to vehicles, and permanent housing assistance to support a transformative transition. Today, Crossing The Jordan operates four large thrift stores and a substantial textile recycling operation. It is nearly fully funded through these industries and does not receive government funding. All store managers, program managers and corporate staff are described as Crossing The Jordan graduates, indicating a leadership pathway built from program participants. The organization maintains a small staff footprint and carries out its operations through its social enterprises and service programs. More information is available on its website.
