BRIDGE PROGRAM
The Bridge Program is designed to meet clients where they are while moving them from being unhoused to safe and secure housing and healthcare. Anyone who is considered unhoused or housing insecure may call 314-405-0253 to schedule an appointment for a needs assessment with our Community Health Worker. Once needs are determined and the client commits to a care plan, clients will be enrolled in the Bridge Program based upon availability. Understanding that each client has different needs, all clients are expected to graduate from the Bridge Program within a 24-month period.
Bridge Program Participants have access to:
- Case Management
- Shower and laundry facilities
- Toiletries and clothing room
- Health Professionals
- Spiritual Care and Direction
- Respite Room
- A Meal
Bridge of Hope is diligently working to expand the Bridge Program to offer Medical Respite for the unhoused. Click here to learn more.
